Amphibian Species of the World 5.6, an Online Reference

Bufo parvus Boulenger, 1887, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., Ser. 5, 19: 346. Syntypes: BMNH 1947.2.21.72-82 (formerly 86.12.28.42-51), MCZ 2208 (3 specimens, exchanged from BMNH according to Barbour and Loveridge, 1929, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 69: 232), and MNHNP 1887.0123, according to R.F. Inger in Frost, 1985, Amph. Species World: 56; MSNG 29413 designated lectotype by Capocaccia, 1957, Ann. Mus. Civ. Stor. Nat. Genova, Ser. 3, 69: 212 (in error according to Dubois and Ohler, 1999, J. South Asian Nat. Hist., 4: 190). Type locality: "within a radius of fifty miles from the town of Malacca", Malaysia (Malaya). Lectotype from "Malewoon (Tenasserim)", Myanmar according to Capocaccia, 1957, Ann. Mus. Civ. Stor. Nat. Genova, Ser. 3, 69: 212. Lectotype designation rejected by Dubois and Ohler, 1999, J. South Asian Nat. Hist., 4: 170, inasmuch as the locality data associated with it precludes its inclusion in the original syntypic series.

Bufo parvas Nutphund, 2001, Amph. Thailand: 73. Incorrect subsequent spelling.

Comment

See Taylor, 1962, Univ. Kansas Sci. Bull., 43: 329-332, and Bourret, 1942, Batr. Indochine: 181-183, for synonymy and discussion. See also Berry, 1975, Amph. Fauna Peninsular Malaysia: 50. Inger, 1966, Fieldiana, Zool., 52: 58, thought Bufo parvus might be a subspecies of Ingerophrynus biporcatus, but see Iskandar, 1998, Amph. Java Bali: 46. In the Bufo biporcatus group of Inger, 1972, in Blair (ed.), Evol. Genus Bufo: 107. See brief account and photo by Manthey and Grossmann, 1997, Amph. Rept. Südostasiens: 34-35. Reported for southwestern Cambodia by Ohler, Swan, and Daltry, 2002, Raffles Bull. Zool., 50: 465-481. Nutphund, 2001, Amph. Thailand: 73, provided a brief characterization and photograph (as Bufo parvas). See brief account by Grismer, 2012, Field Guide Amph. Rept. Seribuat Arch.: 48-49, for the Seribuat Archipelago, West Malaysia.
