Synonyms: Aquixalus ocellatus; Philautus ocellatus

Wikipedia Abstract

Liuixalus ocellatus (common names ocellated bubble-nest frog and ocellated small treefrog) is a species of frog in the Rhacophoridae family. It is endemic to the Hainan Island, China. Liuixalus ocellatus inhabits rainforests and bamboo forests of southern Hainan. It breeds in rain-filled bamboo stems by larval development. As it has not been recorded outside forest, it is vulnerable to habitat loss due to infrastructure development for tourism and logging. Liuixalus ocellatus are tiny frogs: males grow to about 18 mm (0.71 in) and females to 19 mm (0.75 in) in snout-vent length.
