Comment
See comment under Nectophrynoides. Graybeal and Cannatella, 1995, Herpetologica, 51: 121-122, presented evidence supporting the monophyly of this taxon. Smith and Chiszar, 2006, Herpetol. Conserv. Biol., 1: 6-8, implied that this taxon should be considered a subgenus of Bufo; see comment under Bufonidae. This taxon has not been addressed in any of the recent large-scale analyses although it presumably is related to Nectophrynoides.
