... The genus Pseudophilautus currently contains 59 extant species in Sri Lanka [5]. Many of these were described relatively recently [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21].

... Sri Lanka has 120 amphibian species (Appendix 1; Table 3), of which 107 (~90.0%) are endemics and more than 80% are restricted to rain forests (Manamendra-Arachchi and Pethiyagoda, 2006;Fernando et al., 2007;Meegaskumbura et al., 2009;Meegaskumbura and Manamendra-Arachchi, 2011;Wickramasinghe et al., 2012a, b;Wickramasinghe et al., 2013a;Batuwita et al., 2019b). Eighteen endemic species of amphibians are currently confirmed as extinct (Manamendra-Arachchi and Meegaskumbura et al., 2007;Wickramasinghe et al., 2012b;2013b, c), which includes a single species from a relic genus, Nannophrys Günther, 1869 and 17 species from Pseudophilautus. ...
