Remarks. – Two specimens (ZRC 1.118 97, female, SVL 25 mm and ZRC 1.118 96, male, SVL 25 mm) of a new rhacophorid Chiromantis samkosensis was described by Grismer et al. (2007b) having a relatively small SVL (25 mm); skin of body and limbs smooth; skin of head not co-ossified to skull; pupil horizontal; digits having disks with a ventromarginal groove and a transverse groove across the pad; fingers I and II without webbing, fingers II and IV nearly one-half webbed; fingers I and II oppose fingers III and IV; and toes at least three-quarters webbed.

Both specimens were found seated on leaves approximately 1 m above the ground on the edge of a temporary rain pool in an open area along the edge of the main trail. They were part of a breeding chorus that included Chiromantis nongkhorensis and C. vittatus .
