See text Pseudophilautus is a genus of shrub frogs in the family Rhacophoridae endemic to the Western Ghats of southwestern India and to Sri Lanka where the majority of the species are found.

[5] The majority of species where reproductive behaviour is known deposit eggs in soil on the forest floor and only one (Pseudophilautus femoralis) on the leaves of understory shrubs.

After oviposition, the female mixes the eggs with soil and the male dismounts and returns to a perch.

In leaf nesting species, the overall sequence is similar, but the pair does not change the colour.

Depending on the species, froglets hatch with or without the tail fully absorbed but with the yolk sac still visible.
