Amietophrynus Channingi
''Sclerophrys'' is a genus of "true toads", family Bufonidae, native to Africa and the southern Arabian Peninsula. Originally, all of these species were classified in the genus ''Bufo''. The genus, originally named ''Amietophrynus'', was split due to large enough taxonomic divergence. Ohler and Dubois showed in 2016 that ''Sclerophrys capensis'' Tschudi, 1838 is the same species as ''Amietophrynus rangeri, Bufo regularis rangeri'' Hewitt, 1935, the type species of ''Amietophrynus''. Because the former name is older, the implication is that ''Amietophrynus'' is a junior synonym of ''Sclerophrys''. Species The following species are recognized in the genus ''Sclerophrys''.
