Newton Jayawardanei's Shrub Frog

Newton Jayawardanei's shrub frog is endemic to Sri Lanka and is one of eight species described from Adam's Peak in 2013 (Wickramasinghe et al. 2013, Journal of Threatened Taxa). It has been recorded at 1,800 to 2,000 m, sitting on leaves 8 m above the ground. The female measured 38.4 mm from snout to vent. The back is bronze with a white stripe down the middle and dark brown stripes from the eyes to the groin, with a dark brown cross band between the eyes and off-white toe tips (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is named after Dr Newton Jayawardane, a surgeon and wildlife conservationist. The 2012 National Red List gives no status under this name.
