Romerus ocellatus (common names ocellated bubble-nest frog and ocellated small treefrog) is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to the Hainan Island, China .[2]
Romerus ocellatus inhabits rainforests and bamboo forests of southern Hainan. It breeds in rain-filled bamboo stems by larval development. As it has not been recorded outside forest, it is vulnerable to habitat loss due to infrastructure development for tourism and logging.[1]
Romerus ocellatus are tiny frogs: males grow to about 18 mm (0.71 in) and females to 19 mm (0.75 in) in snout-vent length.[3]
