## Summary

Buergeria choui is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. Prior to its description in 2020, it was confused with Buergeria japonica. It is found in northwestern Taiwan and in the southern part of the Ryukyu Archipelago, Japan, specifically on the Yaeyama Islands. Common name Yaeyama Kajika frog has been proposed for it. The specific name choui honors Wen-Hao Chou from the National Museum of Natural Science (Taiwan), the first person to pay attention to the variation within the former Buergeria japonica.
