Dilmah Shrub Frog

The Dilmah shrub frog is endemic to Sri Lanka and was discovered and documented in 2015 by Mendis Wickramasinghe and colleagues in Loolkandura forest in the Central Highlands, at 1,324 m. It differs from other shrub frogs mainly in having no nuptial pads and no horny spinules on the front and rear of the back. It is named after Dilmah Conservation, and its sister taxon is thought to be Pseudophilautus hankeni, though a 2021 study found them the same species (Wikipedia, general species account).

The 2012 National Red List predates it and gives no status under this name.
