Philautus palpebralis Smith, 1924 . Smith M. A. 1924. New tree-frogs from Indo- China and the Malay Peninsula. Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, 1924: 225–234. Type. Holotype , author’s number 2589, female (by original designation), presently NHM 1924.1.31.2. Type locality. “Langbian Peaks, alt. 2000 m ., S. Annam ”, Vietnam . Current status of specific name. Valid name as Feihyla palpebralis ( Smith, 1924 ) ( Frost et al . 2006 ) . Diagnosis. Medium adult size (male SVL 25–28 mm , female SVL 30 mm ); snout pointed in dorsal view; dorsum shagreened to granular; white or light yellow streak extending from below the eye up to the shoulder; dorsum light yellowish-brown or reddish-brown, occasionally with concave bands forming a ‘)(‘-shaped marking or faint lines; presence of a pale white or cream pre- and post-orbital stripe, and continuous or discontinuous dark band between the eyes; limbs with pale cross-bands; first two fingers partially opposed to the others; rudimentary webbing between the outer two fingers; foot webbing moderate, just below the second subarticular tubercle on either side of toe IV ( Fig. 5 ). Distribution. Feihyla palpebralis is currently known only from the Langbian Peaks area of present-day central Vietnam ( Lam Dong Province ) and probably northern Vietnam (Tam Dao). Previous studies reported this species from southern China ( Yunnan Province , Guangxi Province , and Guizhou Province ) (e.g., Fei 1999 ; Fei et al . 2009 , 2010 ). However, after recent examination of Chinese Feihyla specimens, including the type series of F. fuhua , we found none that could be morphologically assigned to F. palpebralis . The original description of F. fuhua also did not delist the ‘ F. palpebralis ’ record from China . Hence, ‘ F. palpebralis’ from China is considered to be misidentification of F. fuhua ( Fig. 4 ). Further studies are required to understand the geographical ranges of these two species.
