Comment
Similar to Bufo spinulosus but in the Bufo veraguensis group according to the original publication. De la Riva, Köhler, Lötters, and Reichle, 2000, Rev. Esp. Herpetol., 14: 28, discussed the Bolivian record. Lavilla and Cei, 2001, Monogr. Mus. Reg. Sci. Nat. Torino, 28: 24-25, noted the nomenclatural history and known distribution. Köhler, 2000, Bonn. Zool. Monogr., 48: 60, suggested that the taxon might not occur in Bolivia but regarded previous records as unreliable. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status (as Bufo gallardoi) in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph.
