Abstract
We re-examined the holotype of Polypedates chlorophthalmus, the only specimen of the species that has ever been collected. Detailed comparison to recently collected specimens of Philautus hosii revealed that the two taxa are identical in general habitus, shape of snout, hands and feet, extent of toe webbing, presence and shape of hand and foot tubercles, size and shape of vomerine teeth, dorsal and ventral colouration and pattern, iris colouration, as well as body size and proportions. We refer Polypedates chlorophthalmus to the synonymy of Philautus hosii.
