Comment
Most closely related to Rhacophorus bimaculatus and Rhacophorus cyanopunctatus according to the original publication; this rejected by Jiang, Jiang, Ren, Wu, and Li, 2019, Asian Herpetol. Res., 10: 6, who placed those species in Leptomantis and Rhacophorus orlovi squarely in Rhacophorus. Ziegler, Herrmann, and Köhler, 2002, Herpetol. Rev., 33: 146, discussed records in Vietnam. See comment regarding Leptomantis under Rhacophorus. Nguyen, Ho, and Nguyen, 2005, Checklist Amph. Rept. Vietnam: 40, provided specific localities for Vietnam and (p. 150) a photograph. Stuart, 2005, Herpetol. Rev., 36: 478, reported a collection from Khammouan Province, Laos. Stuart, 2005, Herpetol. Rev., 36: 334–335, provided a record for Gia Lai Province, Vietnam, and briefly discussed the range. Bain, Nguyen, and Doan, 2007, Herpetol. Rev., 38: 112, provided records for Nghe An, Lao Cai, and Thue Thien-Hue provinces, Vietnam, and briefly discussed the range. Orlov, Nguyen, and Ho, 2008, Russ. J. Herpetol., 15: 67–84, provided a photograph and a key to differentiate this species from others in Vietnam. Tran, Le, Le, Vu, Nguyen, Böhme, and Ziegler, 2010, Herpetol. Notes, 3: 111–119, provided a record from Quang Ngai Province, central Vietnam, and provided a brief morphological diagnosis. Wildenhues, Bagaturov, Schmitz, Tran, Hendrix, and Ziegler, 2011, Zool. Garten, 80: 287–303, reported on larval morphology color pattern variation, and advertisement call. Pham, Nguyen, Ziegler, and Nguyen, 2017, Herpetol. Notes, 10: 379–381, provided records for Son La Province, Vietnam, with notes on morphology and ecology. Thongproh, Sumontha, Chuaynkern, Chuaynkern, Ratree, Duengkae, Phetcharat, Maiprom, and Ungprombundith, 2018, Maejo Internatl. J. Sci. Technol., Sansai Thailand, 12: 36–50, noted that records of Rhacophorus orlovi from Thailand are referable to Rhacophorus jarujini. Le, Nguyen, Pham, Nguyen, Phan, Dang, and Ziegler, 2021, Herpetol.
