Comment

Mendelson, 2001, in Johnson et al. (eds.), Mesoam. Herpetol.: 10-19, discussed previous misidentifications and restricted the distribution to Guatemala. In the former Bufo coccifer complex of Mendelson, Williams, Sheil, and Mulcahy, 2005, Sci. Pap. Nat. Hist. Mus. Univ. Kansas, 38: 13-15, who provided an account. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status (as Bufo ibarrai) in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 185. Mendelson, Mulcahy, Williams, and Sites, 2011, Zootaxa, 3138: 1-34, suggested that this species is a members in an a monophyletic Incilius coccifer group that includes Incilius coccifer, Incilius cycladen, Incilius ibarrai, Incilius pisinnus, Incilius porteri, and Incilius signifer.
