Comment

In the monotypic Bufo perreti group of Martin, 1972, in Blair (ed.), Evol. Genus Bufo: 61, and Tandy and Keith, 1972, in Blair (ed.), Evol. Genus Bufo: 160. See map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status (as Bufo perreti) in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 190. Channing, Rödel, and Channing, 2012, Tadpoles of Africa: 134–135, reported on comparative tadpole morphology. Channing and Rödel, 2019, Field Guide Frogs & Other Amph. Afr.: 62–63, provided a brief account, photograph, and range map. Nneji, Salako, Oladipo, Ayoola, Onadeko, Adedeji, Omotoso, Ugwumba, and Adeola, 2020, Afr. J. Ecol., 58: 481–491, employed distribution modeling to predict habitat suitability and the potential effects of climate change on this species.
