Comment
In the Bufo melanostictus group of Inger, 1972, in Blair (ed.), Evol. Genus Bufo: 107; this questioned by Dubois and Ohler, 1999, J. South Asian Nat. Hist., 4: 159, who suggested that the association with Bufo stomaticus was likely correct. Closely related to Bufo stomaticus, according to the original publication. Wogan, Win, Thin, Lwin, Shein, Kyi, and Tun, 2003, Proc. California Acad. Sci., Ser. 4, 54: 145-149, redescribed the holotype. Yang, 2008, in Yang and Rao (ed.), Amph. Rept. Yunnan: 48-50, provided a brief account (as Bufo stuarti) for Yunnan, China. Agarwal and Mistry, 2008, Russ. J. Herpetol., 15: 166-168, provided a record for western Arunachal Pradesh, northeastern India. Mathew and Sen, 2010, Pict. Guide Amph. NE India: 22-23, provided a brief characterization and photographs.
