Theloderma auratum, the golden bug-eyed frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Vietnam and predicted in Laos. It has been recorded in montane tropical forest habitats.[1][2][3][4]
The adult male frog measures about 21.8–26.4 mm in snout-vent length. It has no warts on the skin of the dorsum or bony ridges on its heas. There is no webbed skin on its front feet.
