Raorchestes luteolus

Philautus neelanethrus Kuramoto and Joshy, 2003 Philautus neelanethrus Gururaja, Aravind, Ali, Ramachandra, Velavan, Krishnakumar, and Aggarwal, 2007 Raorchestes luteolus (sometimes known as Coorg yellow bush frog) is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae.

It is also known from the Shimoga district in the Sharavathi basin where it was described as a new species, Philautus neelanethrus, but this is now considered to be a junior synonym of Raorchestes luteolus.

[2][3] Raorchestes luteolus is a small frog, males measuring 24–29 mm (0.94–1.14 in) in snout-vent length.

[3] Raorchestes luteolus are most commonly found in disturbed habitats, near coffee plantations adjacent to primary forests and waysides.

Call characteristics may differ between populations; in particular, between the Sharavathi frogs described as Philautus neelanethrus and the nominal Raorchestes luteolus.
