''Raorchestes luteolus'' (sometimes known as Coorg yellow bush frog) is a species of frog in the Rhacophoridae family. It is endemic to the Western Ghats, India, where it is only known from the state of Karnataka. Many of the known populations are from the Kodagu district, known also by its anglicised former name of Coorg—hence the common name. It is also known from the Shimoga district in the Sharavathi basin where it was described as a new species, ''Philautus neelanethrus'', but this is now considered to be a junior synonym of ''Raorchestes luteolus''. ==Description== ''Raorchestes luteolus'' is a small frog, males measuring in snout-vent length. Its colour is variable. The dominant colour form is yellowish brown with light-brownish lines or light-yellowish with discontinuous light-brown lines, but some individuals may be almost golden yellow with only faint spots. The iris is light brown encircled with a bluish green outer ring.〔 ''Raorchestes luteolus'' is a close relative of ''Raorchestes travancoricus'' with which it can be confused. The distinguishing characters are its medium size (mean adult male snout-vent length 26.8 mm), pointed snout, rounded canthus, yellow or yellowish brown dorsum with dark brown spots and faint discontinuous lines, and loreal and golden yellow or yellowish brown tympanic regions.〔
