Romerus calcarius, the limestone small tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Vietnam, where it was found in Hai Phong Province.[1][2][3] It lives in tropical primary forest habitats rich in karst rock.[4]
The skin of the dorsum is red-brown in color with an X-shaped mark on the shoulder. This frog has disks on its toes for climbing. The pupil of the eye is horizontal.[4]
