Comment

See Valdés de la Osa and Ruiz-García, 1980, Poeyana, 206: 1-34, for account in the sense of including Pelophryne ramsdeni and Peltophryne dunni as subspecies. The species name is a noun in apposition. See comment under Bufo gundlachi. See map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status (as Bufo longinasus) in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 187. Díaz and Cádiz, 2008, Guía Taxon. Anf. Cuba: 1-294, provided accounts by subspecies, as Bufo longinasus. Henderson and Powell, 2009, Nat. Hist. Rept. Amph. W. Indies: 29–30, summarized the natural history literature (as Bufo empusus). Rivalta González, Rodríguez Schettino, Mancina, and Iturriaga, 2014, Smithson. Herpetol. Inform.
