Rhacophorus turpes (common name: Htingnan flying frog) is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae endemic to northern Myanmar.[3] Little is known about this species that is only known from the original collection in 1937–1939 by Ronald Kaulback. The type locality, "Htingnan", is within the Hkakabo Razi National Park.[1]

The syntypes, a male and a female, measured 32 mm (1.3 in) and 38 mm (1.5 in) in snout–vent length, respectively. They are pale pinkish-brownish above, with black spots (in the male) or an indistinct darker path (the female). Skin is smooth above but strongly granulate upon the belly and the anal region. Fingers are half-webbed whereas the toes are fully webbed.[2]
