Pseudophilautus silus, known as pug-nosed shrub frog [2] is a species of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to southern Sri Lanka and known from the both sides of the Horton Plains (near Agarapatana and Haputale). [1] [3]
Its natural habitats are closed-canopy forests but it also occurs in open, anthropogenic habitats. It is an uncommon species threatened by the encroachment of tea plantations, firewood collection, expanding human settlements, and agro-chemical pollution. [1]
