Pseudophilautus zorro is a species of frog in the Rhacophoridae family. It is endemic to central Sri Lanka.[2]
Its natural habitat is closed-canopy rainforest, but it can also occur in residential gardens with plenty of leaf-litter. It is threatened by habitat loss.[1] Conde et al. have estimated that protecting habitat of this species would cost of order 200,000 USD.[3]
