Pulchrana debussyi is a species of true frog, family Ranidae. It is endemic to Sumatra, Indonesia.[1][2] It is only known from its type locality in the Batak Mountains[1] (also spelled as Battak Mountains[2]). The holotype is now lost, and there are concerns about validity of this taxon—it might be a synonym of Sylvirana nigrovittata.[1] Common name Battak frog has been proposed for it.[1][2]
