Comment

In the Bufo blanfordii group according to Tandy and Keith, 1972, in Blair (ed.), Evol. Genus Bufo: 158, who also noted that this species was described from inadequate postmetamorphic material rendering it a nomen dubium. Tandy and Feener, 1985, in Schuchmann (ed.), Proc. Internatl. Symp Afr. Vert.: 549, suggested that Bufo chudeaui might represent either Bufo xeros, Bufo regularis, or Bufo pentoni. (If the latter is correct, this species does not likely belong in Amietophrynus—DRF.)
