Bufo fenoulheti rhodesianus Hewitt 1932

Annals of the Natal Museum, 7(1): 110; Pl. VI, Figs. 2 & 3.

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

Lectotype: PEM A9079 (formerly AMG 6067); Farm Driefontein, near Gwelo, Zimbabwe; K. Tasman, 25 April 1929.

Paralectotypes (15): PEM A9080–9094 (formerly AMG 6067); same details as lectotype.

Remarks. The type description only refers to a ‘series’ of specimens and no specific reference is made to any particular specimen in the type description. A male (PEM A9079) and female (PEM A9085) conform to individuals illustrated (Pl.VI, fig. 2, 3) and we designate the illustrated male as the lectotype. The type description does not indicate a collection date, but the original labels record 25 April 1929. All specimens have incisions on the lower abdomen, except for two intact juveniles. Full body X-rays are available for all 16 type specimens. Poynton (1964) rejected the distinctiveness of this species from Bufo fenoulheti fenoulheti . Frost et al. (2006) placed the species in the new genus Poyntonophrynus .
