Raorchestes hillisi is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to China. Scientists have observed it 1719 meters above sea level. [1] [2]
The adult male frog measures about 16.6–21.6 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female frog about 18.9–20.5 mm. The skin of the frog's back is brown with a darker triangualr intraorbital mark. There are some yellow spots on top of the head. Some frogs have small white warts as well. Some frogs have a light line on the top of the body. The belly is white-gray in color. [3]
