Rohanixalus vittatus

Rohanixalus vittatus is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in Northeast India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, as well as in isolated populations in southern China (in southeastern Tibet, southern Yunnan and Guangxi, Hainan, Guangdong, and Zhejiang). Many common names have been coined for it: two-striped pigmy tree frog, Bhamo tree frog, Boulenger's tree frog, striped Asian treefrog, violet pigmy tree frog, and lateral-striped opposite-fingered treefrog.[2][3]
