Rhacophorus   tuberculatus    and    Rhacophorus   verrucopus    are two morphologically similar species described in 1871 and 1983 respectively. Their taxonomic distinctiveness has been questioned in the past. In the current study, we encountered frogs that we confer to    R.   tuberculatus    based on morphological similarity to a syntype of this species. We redescribe the species based on a re-examination of a syntype, which is designated as a lectotype here, and additional specimens from Garo hills of Meghalaya. We also present molecular data, natural history notes, and report a range extension of this species. Molecular phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA fragment revealed minimal genetic divergences (0.20–1.74% uncorrected p-distance) between specimens identified as either    R.   tuberculatus    or    R.   verrucopus    from different locations. On the basis of molecular data and morphological characteristics, we conclude that    R.   verrucopus    is a junior synonym of    R.   tuberculatus   .
