Rohanixalus shyamrupus, also known as the hornbill bubble-nest frog and Shyamrup's bush frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae endemic to north-eastern India: it is only known from the type locality, Namdapha Tiger Reserve in Arunachal Pradesh.[2] [3]

Formerly described in Chirixalus, it was moved to the new genus Rohanixalus in 2020 following a phylogenetic study.[2]

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, swamps, freshwater marshes, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]
