Gracixalus jinxiuensis, commonly known as the Jinxiu bubble-nest frog or Jinxiu small treefrog, is a species of shrub frog from northern Vietnam and southern China (southeastern Yunnan, northeastern Guangxi and southern Hunan). "Jinxiu" in its names refers to the Jinxiu Yao Autonomous County, where its type locality lies.[2] This species in known from forests, montane forests, secondary growth, forest edges, and from near streams.[1]
Gracixalus jinxiuensis, as currently defined, may in fact include more than one species. Furthermore, it is possible that some records refer to other, established Gracixalus species.[2] The male snout–vent length is 23.5 mm (0.93 in) and the female is 29 mm (1.1 in).[3]
