Scientists once believed this population to be part of ''[[Raorchestes flaviventris]]'' but a reassessment was published in 2015.<ref name=Amph /><ref name=Reap>{{cite journal|date=November 24, 2015 |volume=4048|issue=1|pages=90–100|doi =10.11646/zootaxa.4048.1.5|title=A reappraisal of the rhacophorid bush frog Raorchestes flaviventris (Boulenger, 1882), with an evaluation of the taxonomic status of R. emeraldi Vijayakumar, Dinesh, Prabhu and Shankar, 2014 |pmid=26624738|author1=Robin Kurian Abraham |author2=Anil Zachariah |author3= Vivek Philip Cyriac |type=Abstract|journal=Zootaxa|doi-access=free}}</ref><br />

This frog lives in [[evergreen]] and [[shola]] forests and has also been observed on coffee and tea plantations. It seems to tolerate some level of habitat disturbance but not an entirely open [[canopy (biology)|canopy]].<ref name=IUCN /><br />
<br />
Scientists classify this frog as near threatened because its moderate range faces only moderate threat and because the frog shows some ability to live in altered habitats. The fungus ''[[Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis]]'' can infect other frogs in ''Raorchestes'', so the fungal disease [[chytridiomycosis]] may pose some threat as well.<ref name=IUCN /><br />
