Pseudophilautus oxyrhynchus is a frog. It lived in Sri Lanka. These frogs all died. The species is extinct.[2][3][1]

One adult female frog was 18.6 mm long from nose to rear end. Her eardrum was oval instead of round.[3]

This frog is extinct. Scientists saw it years ago, but they could not find any more when they went to look for it.

Scientists think this frog died because human beings changed the places where it lived.[3]
