    Many authorities (including amphibiaweb.org) have yet to adopt those designations and there is quite a bit of controversy over them. I see a lot of ordinary people jumping on the new name bandwagon. It would be wiser to wait and see if the name changes get rebuffed by new other research which is in the works right now.

    I agree with John. I personally hate these name changes. If you use Bufo everyone will understand. We have the same situation with Eleutherodactylus and Hyla, etc. No one is going to fault you for using "older" names and unless you're writing a paper, it honestly doesn't matter.
