Incilius intermedius (Günther, 1858)
Bufo intermedius Günther, 1858, Arch. Naturgesch., 24: 322. Syntypes: BMNH 1947.3.6.43-46 (formerly 58.9.20.3-6) according to Kellogg, 1932, Bull. U.S. Natl. Mus., 160: 65. Type locality: "Anden von Ecuador"; Kellogg, 1932, Bull. U.S. Natl. Mus., 160: 65, noted that the jar labels gave "Guayaquil and the Andes of Ecuador" and noted that the collector was working at Gualaquiza and at Zamora in the eastern slope of Ecuador. Hoogmoed, 1989, Zool. Verh., Leiden, 250: 27, noted that jar labels also give "Guayaquil" and notes that the published type locality is likely in error, more likely being in Mexico or Central America.

Comment
Removed from Rhinella (as the Bufo margaritifer group) by Hoogmoed, 1989, Zool. Verh., Leiden, 250: 28, who suggested that it was a member of the former Bufo valliceps group. Included in the synonymy of Bufo simus Schmidt, 1857, by Nieden, 1923, Das Tierreich, 46: 131.
