Theloderma petilus, the slender warted tree frog or slender bug-eyed frog, is a frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is occurs in Vietnam, where it has been observed in the Muong Nhe Nature Reserve. It is also native to Laos and Thailand. Scientists think it may live in China .[2][3][1]

The holotype adult frog was found to measure 33.8 mm long in snout-vent length. The skin of the dorsum is soft yellow-brown in color with interrupted black stripes. There is some lavendar color on the dorsal surfaces of all four legs and a black canthal stripe on each side.[4]
