The reproductive strategy of Sri Lankan shrub frogs is direct development of eggs. In most cases adult female lays eggs in damp soil (Philautus femoralis lay eggs on lower leaf blade. Bahir et al.) after the amplexes. Eggs lay in a shallow pit made in loose damp soil by it self and covered by soil particles.  Mostly the litter cover above the pit is absent.
