Liuixalus hainanus is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to the Hainan Island, China, and only known from its type locality, Mount Diaoluo in Lingshui Li Autonomous County.[2]
Liuixalus hainanus resembles Liuixalus ocellatus.[2] Little is known about this newly described species. It has been recorded from bushes and bamboo forests at mid-altitudes (about 700 m (2,300 ft) asl). It is likely negatively affected by habitat degradation and deforestation caused by smallholder farming and wood extraction.[1]
