    1. Reviewed by Martin Pickersgill    May 19, 2012

    Action: changed name from "Amietophrynus maculatus" to "Amietophrynus xeros "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "The large parotids rule out A. maculatus. The reduced dorsal and snout markings and the spinosity suggest in favour of xeros rather than gutturalis which also occurs in the area."
