Müller's shrub frog (Pseudophilautus sarasinorum) is a frog. It lives in Sri Lanka. People have seen it between 1250 and 1300 meters above sea level in two different places: the Central Hills and Knuckles range.[2][3][1]

The adult male frog is 26.6 to 29.8 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 32.1 to 38.1 mm long. This frog is dark in color with a W-shaped mark in the middle of its back. The belly is yellow in some places and peach-colored in other places.[4]
