Comment

Inger, 1966, Fieldiana, Zool., 52: 58-63, discussed subspecies now considered distinct species; see Ingerophrynus divergens and Ingerophrynus philippinicus. In the former Bufo biporcatus group of Inger, 1972, in Blair (ed.), Evol. Genus Bufo: 107. See identification table by Manthey and Grossmann, 1997, Amph. Rept. Südostasiens: 26, to compare this species with others in the Sunda Shelf region. McKay, 2006, Field Guide Amph. Rept. Bali: 31-32, provided a brief account and photograph. Wanger, Motzke, Saleh, and Iskandar, 2011, Salamandra, 47: 17-29, reported the species from central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Reilly, Stubbs, Arida, Arifin, Bloch, Hamidy, Harmon, Hykin, Karin, Ramadhan, Iskandar, and McGuire, 2020, Herpetol. Rev., 51: 786, provided a record for Rote I. and Sumbawa I., Indonesia, and discussed the range.
