Abstract

A new species of Philautus is described from Ponmudi Hill in the Western Ghats of India. It can be distinguished from all other members of the genus by the combination of its rather robust body, relatively large snout–vent length, rounded snout, protruding eyes, and vermiculated coloration of the posterior surface of the tibia. It is one of the largest species of the genus in the Western Ghats (adult males of type series up to 38.9 mm). It is currently known only from the type locality, where it is essentially an inhabitant of the canopy.
