Comment
See comment under Nannophryne. In the Bufo variegatus group of Martin, 1972, in Blair (ed.), Evol. Genus Bufo: 59. Inclusion in the Bufo spinulosus group of Blair, 1972, Evol. Genus Bufo: 346, is controversial; see Pramuk and Kadivar, 2003, Herpetologica, 59: 270–271, for discussion. For discussion and synonymy see Gallardo, 1962, Physis, Buenos Aires, 23: 93–102. For account see Cei, 1962, Batr. Chile: 51-52, and Cei, 1980, Monit. Zool. Ital., N.S., Monogr., 2: 160–164. Cei, 1980, declined to place this species in any of the species groups. Biolé and Williams, 1985 "1984", Neotropica, 30: 243–244, discussed some aspects of geographic variation. The record for Peru by Rodríguez, Córdova, and Icochea, 1993, Publ. Mus. Hist. Nat. Univ. Nac. Mayor San Marcos, 45: 1–22, requires confirmation as being ecologically and geographically very isolated from other records. See Lobos, Vidal-Maldonado, Correa-Quezada, Labra-Lillo, Díaz-Páez, Charrier, Rabanal, Díaz-Vidal, and Tala, 2013, Anf. Chile Conserv. 1–104, for photograph, comments on conservation status, and range.
