Bufo fenoulheti obtusum Hewitt 1925b

Records of the Albany Museum, 3(4): 363.

Current name: Poyntonophrynus fenoulheti ( Hewitt and Methuen, 1912)

Syntype: PEM A824 (formerly AMG 1716); Bleskop, Rustenburg district, North West Province, South Africa; G. van Dam, 5 February 1917.

Remarks. The type description does not list any AMG specimens and refers to all types being present in the TMP (11362–11370). The presence of a specimen with the same collection details as the type series in the AMG material suggests that one syntype was exchanged from the TMP (now in the PEM), thus we retain this as a syntype. An oblique dorsal incision is present resulting in loose flap of skin behind parotid gland. A full body Xray is available. Frost et al. (2006) placed the species in a new genus, Poyntonophrynus .
