Zhangixalus Franki
''Zhangixalus franki'', or Frank's tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It has been reported in China, in Yunnan Province, and in northern Vietnam, between 1320 and 1360 m above sea level. The adult male frog measures approximately 77.9–85.8 mm in snout-vent length. This frog has been observed near small ponds in undisturbed evergreen forests between 1320 and 1680 meters above sea level.
