The snouted bubble-nest frog or sharp-nosed bush frog (Pseudophilautus nasutus) is a frog. It lived in India and Sri Lanka. Scientists have seen it in the Western Ghat mountains.[2][3][1]

This frog is extinct. All the frogs in this species are dead.[1]

The adult male frog was 17.4 mm long from nose to rear end. Scientists are not sure why these frogs all died. They think it was human beings changed the places where the frog lived.[3]
