Raorchestes flaviventris is a species of arboreal, nocturnal, frog of the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to the Western Ghats, South India. Its common name is yellow-bellied bush frog.[2]

Illustration that accompanied the original species description of "Ixalus flaviventris" by George Albert Boulenger, published in the Catalogue of the Batrachia Salientia s. Ecaudata in the collection of the British Museum in 1882.[3][2]

Its natural habitats are tropical moist montane forests.[1] It is endemic to the Anaimalai hills, occurring in the Valparai area and also in Munnar, in Tamil Nadu and Kerala states of South India. This species may also be found in Palni hills but this requires confirmation.
