Kurixalus hainanus, the Hainan frilled tree frog or Hainan small tree frog, is a frog in the Rhacophoridae family. It is found in northeastern Vietnam and in China’s Guizhou, Guangxi, and Guangdong provinces, as well as on the mountains of Hainan Island. It has been observed at about 630–710 meters above sea level. It lives in evergreen forests, bamboo forests, mixed forests, and scrubby areas. It breeds in shallow pools, with tadpoles developing there. The species is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN because it has a large range, but it faces threats from deforestation due to small farms. It is occasionally harvested for food and for traditional medicines.
