Comment

Most similar to Rhacophorus bimaculatus, Rhacophorus catamitus, Rhacophorus gadingensis, and Rhacophorus gauni, according to the original publication. Chan, Grismer, and Brown, 2018, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 127: 1010–1019, suggested on the basis of molecular evidence that this and Rhacophorus gauni might represent the same species.
