Zhangixalus lishuiensis is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. Scientists know it exclusively from the type locality: Fengyang Forest Station in Zhejiang Province, China. It has been observed 1100 meters above sea level. [2] [3] [1]

People have seen this frog in montaine forests with mixed evergreen and deciduous trees. The male frogs dig holes near the roots of Jiaobai plants by the water's edge, such that the openings are underwater. The frogs must swim to enter. The female frogs lay their eggs in these burrows, but egg sacs have occasionally been seen on the stems of the Jiaobai plants or on the water. [1]

The IUCN classifies this frog as data deficient, but scientists believe the population is stable. [1]
