Raorchestes charius (common names: Karnataka bubble-nest frog, Seshachar's bush frog, Chari's bush frog) is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to the Western Ghats, India.[2] It is an arboreal species living in tropical moist evergreen forests in the Karnataka state. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by the conversion of native forests into cultivated areas.[1]
