Comment

In the Bufo viridis group Inger, 1972, in Blair (ed.), Evol. Genus Bufo; and the Bufo viridis subgroup of Stöck, Günther, and Böhme, 2001, Zool. Abh. Staatl. Mus. Tierkd. Dresden, 51. Stöck, Schmid, Steinlein, and Grosse, 1999, Ital. J. Zool., 66: 215-232, discussed the subspecific status of Bufo pseudoraddei pseudoraddei and Bufo pseudoraddei baturae, and considered both to be triploid representatives of the Bufo viridis (sub-) group. Kuzmin, 1999, Amph. Former Soviet Union: 265, previously had considered Bufo viridis pseudoraddei a synonym of the later-described Bufo danatensis. Stöck, Frynta, Grosse, Steinlein, and Schmid, 2001, Asiat. Herpetol. Res., 9: 77-100, showed new records mainly from Pakistan. Stöck, Günther, and Böhme, 2001, Zool. Abh. Staatl. Mus. Tierkd. Dresden, 51: 302-305, provided an account of this triploid species. Stöck, Lamatsch, Steinlein, Epplen, Grosse, Hock, Klapperstück, Lampert, Scheer, Schmid, and Schartl, 2002, Nature Genetics, 30: 325-328, provided cytogenetic details for Bufo pseudoraddei baturae. See preliminary map in Stöck, Günther, and Böhme, 2001, Zool. Abh. Staatl. Mus. Tierkd. Dresden, 51: 308, in connection with Stöck, Frynta, Grosse, Steinlein, and Schmid, 2001, Asiat. Herpetol. Res., 9: App.I. Khan, 2006, Amph. Rept. Pakistan: 46-47, provided a brief account for Pakistan. Stöck, Moritz, Hickerson, Frynta, Dujsebayeva, Eremchenko, Macey, Papenfuss, and Wake, 2006, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 41: 663-689, provided molecular evidence of strong differentiation of Bufotes pseudoraddei pseudoraddei and Bufotes pseudoraddei baturae. Ficetola, Crottini, Casiraghi, and Padoa-Schioppa, 2010, North-West. J. Zool., Romania, 6: 1-12, discussed the habitat in Pakistan of Bufotes pseudoraddei baturae (as Bufo).
