Rhacophorus georgii (common name: Tuwa flying frog) is a species of flying frog in the family Rhacophoridae endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia.[2] Its type locality ("Tuwa, Paluthal, West-Central Celebes"[2]) cannot be located, but it has recently been collected from Buton, off southeastern Sulawesi.[1]
Rhacophorus georgii live in lowland forests, below 800 m (2,600 ft) asl. These frogs attach foamy egg masses to the trunks of trees, 1–3 cm above water-filled tree cavities; each female can carry 29–108 eggs. Upon hatching, tadpoles fall to these water-filled cavities.[1]
Specific threats to this species are unknown but it is probably negatively affected by habitat loss.[1]
