Comment
In the Rhacophorus (Rhacophorus) schlegelii group of Dubois, 1987 "1986", Alytes, 5: 77; see comment under Rhacophorus for dissenting opinion regarding the recognition of this group. Closely related to Rhacophorus moltrechti, Rhacophorus viridis, and Rhacophorus owstoni, according to the original publication, but comparisons of call structure by Kuramoto and Utsunomiya, 1981, Japan. J. Herpetol., 9: 1-6, did not support this conclusion. Fei, 1999, Atlas Amph. China: 284-285, provided a brief account, figure, and map. Lue, Tu, and Hsiang, 1999, Atlas Taiwan Amph. Rept.: 48-49, provided a brief account for Taiwan. See statement of geographic range, habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 636. Fei, Hu, Ye, and Huang, 2009, Fauna Sinica, Amph. 2: 835-838, provided an account, spot map, and considered this species a member of their Rhacophorus moltrechti group. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2010, Colored Atlas of Chinese Amph.: 474, provided a brief account for China including photographs of specimens. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2012, Colored Atlas Chinese Amph. Distr.: 559, provided an account, photographs, and a range map. Guo, Yang, and Li, 2009, Colored Illust. Amph. Rept. Taiwan: 122–123, provided a brief account, photographs, and map.
