Abstract

29 Duttaphrynus species are reported from all over the world. This genus was previously assigned to Bufo melanostictus group. Frost et al. suggested that Duttaphrynus is only distantly related to other Asiatic bufonids and consequently moved these species in 2006 to a separate genus. Duttaphrynus is a genus of true toads. It is endemic to southwestern and southern China and throughout southern Asia. Out of them, 19 species are reported only from India. Duttaphrynus melanostictus is the most widely distributed species.This melanostictus group is distinguished by presence of orbital cranial ridge, vocal sac when present having surrounding muscles with melanophore.
