Beelzebufo
''Beelzebufo ampinga'' ( or ) was a particularly large species of prehistoric frog first identified in 2007. Common names assigned by the popular media include devil frog, devil toad,〔 〕 and the frog from hell. Fossils of ''Beelzebufo'' have been recovered from strata of the Maevarano Formation in Madagascar, dating to the late Cretaceous period, some 70 million years ago (Mya). == Etymology == The generic name ''Beelzebufo'' is a portmanteau of ''Beelzebub'' (a Semitic deity whose name may be translated as "Lord of the Flies", sometimes identified either as one of the chief lieutenants, or alter ego of the Christian Devil) and ''bufo'' (Latin for "toad"). The specific name ''ampinga'' means "shield" in Malagasy.
