Roland's burrowing frog, also called the Sri Lanka bullfrog or marble sand frog, Sphaerotheca rolandae, was described by Dubois in 1983. It was previously listed as Rana breviceps ssp. rolandae and Tomopterna rolandae. It lives in dry forest and shrubland, intermittent freshwater marshes, arable land and pasture (Wikipedia, general species account).

The source places it in Sri Lanka and says its presence in Nepal is unconfirmed and in India disputed, so its place on the Nepal list should be checked. It gives no size, appearance or breeding detail (Wikipedia, general species account).
