Originally, all ''Poyntonophrynus'' species were included in the genus ''Bufo''. The genus was split due to large enough taxonomic divergence.〔 The genus is named in honour of John C. Poynton, South African herpetologist, with ''phrynus'' being Greek for toad.〔 ''Poyntonophrynus'' are small toads with parotoid glands and they lack tarsal folds. ==Species== The species in this genus are:〔〔 * ''Poyntonophrynus beiranus'' (Loveridge, 1932) * ''Poyntonophrynus damaranus'' (Mertens, 1954) * ''Poyntonophrynus dombensis'' (Bocage, 1895) * ''Poyntonophrynus fenoulheti'' (Hewitt and Methuen, 1912) * ''Poyntonophrynus grandisonae'' (Poynton and Haacke, 1993) * ''Poyntonophrynus hoeschi'' (Ahl, 1934) * ''Poyntonophrynus kavangensis'' (Poynton and Broadley, 1988) * ''Poyntonophrynus lughensis'' (Loveridge, 1932) * ''Poyntonophrynus parkeri'' (Loveridge, 1932) * ''Poyntonophrynus vertebralis'' (Smith, 1848) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Poyntonophrynus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
