FIGURE 5 in The nomenclatural status of the nomina of amphibians and reptiles created by Garsault (1764), with a parsimonious solution to an old nomenclatural problem regarding the genus Bufo (Amphibia, Anura), comments on the taxonomy of this genus, and comments on some nomina created by Laurenti (1768)

FIGURE 5. Reproduction of part of the tree of vertebrates in Pramuk et al. (2008: 76) including their BUFONIDAE. The specific nomina are those used by these authors, whereas the generic nomina in the column on the right are those supported here, either for genera or subgenera (see text for details). Bidirectional arrows point to reported cases of successful hybridization resulting in adult specimens: (1) between Bufo fowleri and Bufo valliceps (Blair in Moore 1955); (2) between Bufo terrestris and Bufo valliceps (Blair 1941; Moore 1955); (3) between Bufo bufo and Bufo woodhousii (Blair 1972: 420). The larger grey rectangle includes all the species that must be maintained in the genus Bufo according to these data if the crossability criterion of Dubois (1988a-b, 2004c) is implemented. The darker grey rectangle includes species that could be excluded from this genus if the only reported case between Bufo bufo and Bufo woodhousii proved to be in error. See text for explanations.
