Minervarya mysorensis (Mysore frog) is a species of frog that is endemic to India. It is known from its type locality, Jog in Shimoga district, Karnataka state, and has recently been found in locations south to Kerala.[1][2]
A 2021 phylogenetic study found that Minervarya mysorensis was indistinguishable from three other species in its genus, M. parambikulamana, M. kudremukhensis, and M. sauriceps, which have been folded into this species as junior synonyms.[3]
