Well, they are still in the same genus, even after Frost made his revisions to the genus Bufo. Those two are of a small handfull he did not rename.
Most of the toads we know are now in different genera according to his revisions. Bufo marinus is now Chanus marina, Bufo americanus is now Anaxyrus americanus, Bufo alvarius is now Ollotis alvaria, Bufo guttatus is now Rhaebo gutttus, Bufo viridis is now Pseudepidalea viridis, and so on. Bufo bufo and Bufo japonica remain the same.
