The frilled tree frog, rough-armed tree frog, or Southeast Asian tree frog (Kurixalus appendiculatus) is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae found in Brunei, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam[2] between 0 and 500 meters above sea level.[1]

The frog has been found in primary and secondary forest habitats in swamps and near slow-flowing streams. Observers have seen them perched on shrubs. The tadpoles swim in stagnant water. These frogs are territorial and feed mostly on invertebrates.[1]

Scientists classify this frog as being at least concern of extinction because of its large range. However, that range is subject to deforestation associated with palm oil cultivation.[1]
