Samarakoon's Shrub Frog

Samarakoon's shrub frog is endemic to Sri Lanka and known only from its type locality on Sripada Peak in the Peak Wilderness, at 1,000 to 1,400 m. It is one of eight species described from Adam's Peak in 2013. The male measured 22.3 mm from snout to vent and females 22.4 to 24.6 mm. The back and legs are cream with light and dark brown marks and a dark brown mark between and in front of the eyes, and it is told from other Pseudophilautus by its small size and fringed skin on the feet (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is named after Ananda Vijith Samarakoon, a wildlife conservationist. Its describers suggested it should be treated as critically endangered. The 2012 National Red List gives no status under this name.
