Theloderma lacustrinum, the lake bug-eyed frog, is a frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Laos. Scientists know it exclusively from the type locality: Ban Naxang Village near the Nam Lik Reservoir.[1][2][3]
The adult male frog measures 17.0-20.6 mm in snout-vent length. The skin of the dorsum is light brown in color with brown and black marks. The frog's belly is gray. The iris of the eye is bronze in color. DNA analysis indicated that this frog is related to Theloderma lateriticum.[3]
