Distribution
Northeastern Thailand, specifically in Kalasin, Roi Et, Amnat Charoen, Ubon Ratchathani, and Sakon Nakhon Provinces, 163 to 500 m elevation; likely into adjacent southern Laos and northern Cambodia (see comment).

Comment
Not assigned to species group in the original publication. Thongproh, Sumontha, Chuaynkern, Chuaynkern, Ratree, Duengkae, Phetcharat, Maiprom, and Ungprombundith, 2018, Maejo Internatl. J. Sci. Technol., Sansai Thailand, 12: 36–50, discussed the range and natural history of this species in Thailand and noted that records of Rhacophorus orlovi from Thailand are referable to this species. Niyomwan, Srisom, and Pawangkhanant, 2019, Field Guide Amph. Thailand: 462–463, provided a brief account (description, photographs, habitat, and range) for Thailand (in Thai). Poyarkov, Nguyen, Popov, Geissler, Pawangkhanant, Neang, Suwannapoom, and Orlov, 2021, Russ. J. Herpetol., 28 (3A): 60, cited (as Rhacophorus jarujini) an unpublished report by Ohler and Goutte dated 2010, which does not appear in their literature cited. Given that DRF cannot verify the source of this record and no vouchers are cited I refrain from including Cambodia within the range of this species although it almost assuredly occurs there. Chuaynkern, Khajitmathee, Phochayavanich, Maiphrom, Phetcharat, Chaiyes, Duengkae, and Chuaynkern, 2025, Biodiversitas, 26: 4445-4456, discussed future habitat suitability under climate change projections and provided a dot map of distribution for Thailand which evidences records on the borders of Laos and Cambodia.
