description: ORDER ANURA Hogg, 1839 14F/39+3*G (139) (136 + 3*)
The following family was included in the Dendrobatidae by Savage (2002). Grant et al. (2006) recognized it
as distinct from the latter family:
FAMILY AROMOBATIDAE Grant, Frost, Caldwell, Gagliardo, Haddad, Kok, Means, Noonan, Schargel, &
Wheeler, 2006, 1G (1)
Allobates Zimmermann & Zimmermann, 1988 (1)
Grant et al. (2006) recognized Allobates as distinct from Colostethu s. The following species was called Colostethu s talamancae by Savage (2002): Allobates talamancae (Cope, 1875) (381)
FAMILY BUFONIDAE J. E. Gray, 1825 5G (17) Atelopus C. Duméril & Bibron, 1841 (3)
Atelopus chiriquiensis Shreve, 1936 (187)
Atelopus senex Taylor, 1952 (188)
Atelopus varius (Lichtenstein & von Martens, 1856) (189) Chaunus Wagler, 1828 (1)
Frost et al. (2006) recognized Chaunus (type species by monotypy: Chaunus marmoratus Wagler, 1828 = Bufo granulosus Spix, 1824) and Rhinella Fitzinger, 1826 (type species by monotypy: Oxyrhynchus proboscideus Spix, 1824) as genera distinct from Bufo. Chaparro, Pramuk and Gluesenkamp (2007) placed Chaunus as a synonym of Rhinella. Contrary to these authors implied statement that Chaunus is nested within Rhinella, this is not the case. Their phylogenetic tree shows that two monophyletic clades (sister groups) are subsumed within their concept of Rhinella. One of these includes the marinus, crucifer, and spinulosus groups and consitutes the genus Chaunus as used here. The other, Rhinella (sensu stricto), includes the margaritifer group of which Rhinella proboscidea is a member and a number of additional South American subclades.
The following species was called Bufo marinus in Savage (2002):
Chaunus marinus (Linné, 1758) (199)

Frost et al. (2006) recognized Cranopsis Cope, 1875 as distinct from Bufo. Inasmuch as Cranopsis is a junior homonym, Frost, Grant and Mendelson (2006) applied the name Ollotis to this genus. Unfortunately, the name Incilius Cope, 1863 (type species: Chilophryne conifera Cope, 1862 = Bufo coniferus Cope, 1862 by subsequent designation of Kellogg 1932) has priority over Ollotis (D. R. Frost, pers. comm.).
The following species were included in Bufo by Savage (2002):
The following species was included in Bufo melanochlorus by Savage (2002) but was recognized as
distinct by O’Neill & Mendelson (2004):
