Pseudophilautus zimmeri is an extinct species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae.[1][2][3] It was endemic to Sri Lanka, where it was recorded from the vicinity of Galle.[1][2] It is only known from the holotype that was used to describe the species in 1927.[1][4] The specific name zimmeri honours Carl Wilhelm Erich Zimmer, a German zoologist.[5] Common name Rumassala shrub frog has been coined for it.[3]
