Pseudophilautus stictomerus (common name: orange-canthal shrub frog) is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Sri Lanka.[2] It was first described by Albert Günther (as Ixalus stictomerus) based on a single individual collected by Colonel Richard Henry Beddome from 'Ceylon'.[3]
Male Pseudophilautus stictomerus measure about 23 mm (0.91 in) in snout-vent length of and females 25–36 mm (0.98–1.42 in). They have an elongated body with an obtusely pointed snout. The dorsum is dark brown. There is a narrow yellow stripe on mid-dorsum from tip of snout to vent. There are also bright orange stripes running along the canthal edges, edges of upper eyelids, and supratympanic folds.[4]
Pseudophilautus stictomerus is a low-country wetzone species from south-western Sri Lanka. It is a habitat generalist found in both open (anthropogenic) and closed canopy habitats at elevations of 60–515 m (197–1,690 ft) above sea level. They are commonly found on shrubs some 1 metre above ground.[1][4] The species is potentially threatened by agro-chemical pollution and habitat loss and alteration.[1]
