Pseudophilautus temporalis is a frog. It lives in Sri Lanka. Scientists saw this frog exactly one time. It is now extinct.[2][3][1]

The adult female frog is 28.4-31.0 mm long from nose to rear end.[3]

Scientists believe that these frogs hatched out of its eggs as small frogs, not tadpoles, like other frogs in Pseudophilautus.[3]
