Philautus hosii is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Borneo and has been found at 1,351 m (4,432 ft) above sea level.[3][4] The specific name of the synonym, Polypedates chlorophthalmus, refers to its "remarkable green iris", from the Greek for "green-eyed".[2] Accordingly, the common name green-eyed tree frog has been coined for the species.[4]
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
