Thanks for posting this. I have been a fan of Incilius luetkenii & coniferus for quite some time now, but they are just not available here. Also like Incilius periglenes and Atelopus varius, but one is extint and the other critically endangered.

Is sad how amphibian species are dissappearing.

Oh good that way you can be arrested when you try to sneak them out of Costa Rica. Lots of luck.

Thanks very much for this post! Bufo's are my first love. I'm still having a helluva time wrapping my head around the new taxonomy of toads in the New world. Can anyone on here give me a very basic rundown on this modern taxonomy? For example why is (Bufo) Rhinella marinus, but (Bufo) valliceps not a Rhinella? Thanks! JVK

Don't worry bud! I have the same issue. Once I finally learnt alot of the old names for some animals. Turns out its outdated and a new name kicks in. I'm too lazy to learn the new names so I go by the old names. Pretty sure people will understand if you still use bufo. Not sure though.

Lol, I like your idea. I'll make sure when they arrest me that the know my name is Kurt Kunze with the New England Herpetological Society.
