Theloderma kwangsiense is a species of frog in the Rhacophoridae family. It is endemic to China and only known from its type locality, Yaoshan, Guangxi (in the Dayaoshan National Nature Reserve), as well as from the Jianfengling National Nature Reserve in Hainan; the latter might represent misidentification.[2]
Natural habitat of Theloderma kwangsiense is subtropical forest where they have been found inside pools in hollowed logs, placed by the local villagers. There is no information on threats to this species.[1]
Theloderma kwangsiense measure about 61 mm (2.4 in) in snout–vent length.[3]
