Two new species of the bushfrog genus Philautus are described from the Western Ghats, southwestern India. Philautus luteolus is a medium-sized (ca. 27mm SVL in males) yellowish frog with a few indistinct markings. From the most similar species P. travancoricus, P. luteolus can be distinguished by the lack of conspicuous black markings and by the rather pointed longer snout. Advertisement calls are long trills consisting of a short introductory phase with fast-repeated pulses and a long main phase with slowly repeated pulses. Philautus tuberohumerus is a tiny (ca. 18mm SVL in males) dark brown frog and its humerus bone has a unique conspicuous tubercle projecting anteroventrally. From the similar species P. bombayensis, it is easily distinguishable by its distinctly small size and absence of a papilla on the tongue. Advertisement calls are sharp, metallic sounds composed of short pulses which are repeated very slowly.
