Haycock Shrub Frog

The Haycock shrub frog is endemic to south-western Sri Lanka, including its type locality, Haycock Hill (Hiniduma) Forest Reserve. Its name limbus is Latin for edge, because it was first known only from the reserve's border. The holotype male measured 26 mm from snout to vent, with a slender body and a concave head. The back is white with dark-brown and reddish-orange patches, the flanks whitish, and the underside ashy white (Wikipedia, general species account).

It occurs along forest edges in tea plantations, home gardens and grassland, and within lowland forest, at 61 to 660 m, and is present in two forest reserves. It tolerates some habitat change and can be locally common, but is believed to suffer from habitat loss and lower habitat quality. Nationally Critically Endangered (Sri Lanka National Red List 2012).
