Examined material. UNITED STATES • 6 via sur- vey, 9 via iNaturalist; Texas, Harris County, Houston ; 29.7714°N, 095.5697°W; first encounter on 17 Feb. 2018; capture via transect survey .

Identification. This species is marked by triangular parotoids, and a deep valley between prominently developed cranial crests. A light mid-dorsal stripe is typically present with prominent dark lateral stripes helping to further identify this species from the Anaxyrus genus. Other species of Incilius are not known to occur in Texas ( Powell et al. 2016). A number of authors retain the genus Bufo for this species ( Pauly et al. 2009).
