Rohanixalus vittatus is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in Northeast India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, as well as in isolated populations in southern China (in southeastern Tibet, southern Yunnan and Guangxi, Hainan, Guangdong, and Zhejiang). Many common names have been coined for it: two-striped pigmy tree frog, Bhamo tree frog, Boulenger's tree frog, striped Asian treefrog, violet pigmy tree frog, and lateral-striped opposite-fingered treefrog.
Formerly described in Feihyla, it was moved to the new genus Rohanixalus in 2020 following a phylogenetic study.
Rohanixalus vittatus occurs in open grassy areas in forest and forest edge at elevations up to about 1,500 m (4,900 ft). It tolerates some habitat modification and also occurs in rice paddies. It is a widespread and generally common species that is not facing known threats. Its range includes a number of protected areas.
