Philautus kempiae (Tura bubble-nest frog, Kemp's bush frog) is a species of frog in the Rhacophoridae family (not to be confused with Philautus kempii). Being only known from its type locality near Tura in the Garo Hills in Meghalaya, northeastern India, it is an Indian endemic.[2] It is known only from the type specimen, so very little is known about biology of this species. It is presumed to be a dweller of the undergrowth of moist evergreen forests.[1]
