Rana malabarica Kelaart, 1853 – junior homonym of Rana malabarica Tschudi, 1838 Rana crassa Jerdon, 1853 Hoplobatrachus ceylanicus Peters, 1863 Hoplobatrachus crassus, also called Jerdon's bullfrog, Jerdon's bull frog, and South Indian bullfrog, is a species of frog found widely distributed on the plains of India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.

[2] This species has a shovel shaped metatarsal tubercle and has longer hind legs than the somewhat similar H. tigrinus with which it overlaps in part of its range.

When the leg is stretched along the body the tibio-tarsal (ankle) joint lies at a position between the ear and eye.

[1] Males have two vocal sacs on the side and the call sounds somewhat like a bleating goat.

[7] A ciliate in the genus Cepedea has been recorded living in tadpoles of this species.
