Zhangixalus yinggelingensis is a medium-sized treefrog with a green body with some white spots. Its snout-vent length is about 43 mm (1.7 in).[2]
Zhangixalus yinggelingensis is currently only known from the Yinggeling mountain range in central Hainan at altitudes between 1,300 and 1,550 m (4,270 and 5,090 ft). It appears to be a montane species restricted to primary rain forest. It breeds in rainwater pools, which are rare in its mountainous habitat.[1]
The species occurs within the Yinggeling National Nature Reserve. The high-altitude montane habitat is relatively undisturbed, but the species is rare and the total area of the habitat is small. IUCN considers Zhangixalus yinggelingensis as "vulnerable".[1] Survey of the reserve has put the estimated total population size at around 3000 frogs.[4]
