This species was endemic to Sri Lanka, but a precise distribution map cannot be made since the locality is described only as "Ceylon". The exact habitat that this species required is not known (Stuart et al 2008).

This species is only known from the holotype (NHMB 1236), which was donated to the NHMB collection (Basel, Switzerland) in 1882; it has not been rediscovered since 1882 despite extensive searches and is presumed extinct. Breeding is believed to have been through direct development, as is the case for other members of the genus Pseudophilautus (Stuart et al 2008).

The exact reasons for extinction are not known, but the major factor is likely to be habitat loss (Stuart et al 2008).
