Rhacophorus exechopygus is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in the Central Highlands of Vietnam and in the adjacent Annamite Range in Laos.[1][3] Its range may extend into northeastern Cambodia where suitable habitat should be present.[1] The specific name exechopygus is derived from the Greek words exechos (=jutting out) and pygos (=buttocks), referring to the infra-anal projection characteristic of this frog.[2] Its common names are spinybottom tree frog[1][3] and Tramlap flying tree frog.[3][4]
