Comment

See map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status (as Bufo djohongensis) in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 182. Channing and Rödel, 2019, Field Guide Frogs & Other Amph. Afr.: 397, regarded this nominal taxon, likely a synonym of Sclerophrys villiersi, as too insufficiently known to treat adequately in their fieldguide.
