'''''Philautus kempiae''''' ('''Tura bubble-nest frog''', '''Kemp's bush frog''') is a species of [[frog]] in the family [[Rhacophoridae]] (not to be confused with ''[[Philautus kempii]]''). Being only known from its [[Type locality (biology)|type locality]] near [[Tura, Meghalaya|Tura]] in the [[Garo Hills]] in [[Meghalaya]], northeastern [[India]], it is an Indian [[endemic]].<ref name=Frost/> The [[Specific name (zoology)|specific name]] ''kempiae'' honours Agnes Kemp, wife of [[Stanley Wells Kemp]], an English zoologist and anthropologist.<ref name="Beolens et al. 2013"/> 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.<ref name="iucn status 9 December 2022" /><br />
