Philautus silus Manamendra-Arachchi & Pethiyagoda, 2005 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.
