SUMMARY
This species was thought to be a member of the Bufo blanfordi (now Amietophrynus blanfordii) group. However, more recently, Amietophrynus chudeaui has been criticized as being “described from postmetamorphic material that cannot be identified as any known species” (Tandy and Keith, 1972). Tandy and Feener (1985) echo this complaint and suggest that this species is probably instead Bufo pentoni, Bufo regularis (now Amietophrynus regularis), or Bufo xeros (now Amietophrynus xeros) (Frost, 2010).
