Rhacophorus reinwardtii (Schlegel, 1840)
Rhacophorus moschatus Kuhl and Van Hasselt, 1822, Algemeene Konst-en Letter-Bode, 7: 104. Types: Not stated, although presumably RMNH. Type locality: Mount Pangerango, Java, Indonesia. Synonymy by Brongersma, 1942, Arch. Neerland. Zool., 6: 341-346; and Dubois, 1989 "1988", Alytes, 7: 101, who has appealed to the ICZN to suppress this senior synonym. Ohler and Dubois, 2006, Alytes, 23: 123-132, argued that the name is a nomen oblitum under Art. 23.9 of the Code (1999).

Hyla reinwardtii Schlegel, 1840, Abbild. Neuer Unvollst. Amph., Atlas: pl. 30. Syntypes: Including animals figured on pl. 30 of original; including RMNH 1870 (2 specimens; Java), 6517 (2 specimens; Java), and 3899 (Sumatra), according to M.S. Hoogmoed in Frost, 1985, Amph. Species World: 547. Ohler and Dubois, 2006, Alytes, 23: 123-132, suggested that only RMNH 6517A, 3899, and 1970A and not 1870B and 6517B were syntypes; they selected RMNH 6517A as the lectotype. Type locality: Not stated, but likely Java, Indonesia. See Dubois, 1989 "1988", Alytes, 7: 101-104, for clarification.

Comment
In the Rhacophorus (Rhacophorus) reinwardtii group of Dubois, 1987 "1986", Alytes, 5: 77; see comment under Rhacophorus for dissenting opinion regarding the recognition of this group. See Berry, 1975, Amph. Fauna Peninsular Malaysia: 107, for account. Dubois, 1982, Bull. Mus. Natl. Hist. Nat. Paris, Sect. A, Zool., 4: 261-280, suggested that Rhacophorus moschatus Kuhl and Van Hasselt, 1822, is the name with priority for this species, but recommended the retention of reinwardtii for stability. Dubois also noted that Hypsiboas reinwardtii Wagler, 1830, is a nomen nudum. Ohler and Dubois, 2006, Alytes, 23: 123-132, discussed the nomenclature of this species, preserved the name Rhacophorus reinwardtii as a nomen protectum, and provided a description of the lectotype. See comment under Rhacophorus kio. The records from Laos by Stuart, 2005, Herpetol. Rev., 36: 479, were subsequently (i.e., Bain, Nguyen, and Doan, 2007, Herpetol. Rev., 38: 111) treated as Rhacophorus kio. Devi and Shamungou, 2006, J. Exp. Zool. India, 9: 317-324, provided a questionable record for Manipur, northeastern India. Chan and Grismer, 2010, Zootaxa, 2505: 40-50, noted that records from peninsular Thailand and Malaya, and likely from Sumatra, are referrable to Rhacophorus norhayatii.
