Comment
In the Incilius coccifer complex and confused with Incilius cycladen and Incilius coccifer (all as Bufo) prior to its description, according to the original publication. Mendelson, Mulcahy, Williams, and Sites, 2011, Zootaxa, 3138: 1-34, suggested that Incilius canaliferus is a members in an a monophyletic Incilius coccifer group that includes Incilius coccifer, Incilius cycladen, Incilius ibarrai, Incilius pisinnus, Incilius porteri, and Incilius signifer. Oliver-López, Woolrich-Piña, and Lemos-Espinal, 2009, Fam. Bufonidae Mex.: 90, provided an account for Mexico (as Ollotis pisinna).
