Pseudophilautus
''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. Many of them are already extinct (marked with † in the species list). On the other, some species believed to be extinct have also been rediscovered. '' Pseudophilautus amboli'', one of the Indian species Reproduction Frogs in genus ''Pseudophilautus'' have direct development: eggs develop directly into froglets that resemble small adults. This strategy makes fully terrestrial reproduction possible. However, the eggs still require high humidity, and periods of dry weather may be detrimental. 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. Males use advertisement calls to attract females, and tend to call more intensively during darkness and when humidity is h ...
