Bufo minshanicus

Bufo minshanicus was described from the Min range of north-western China, with the type specimen from Choni on the Tao River in Gansu and further specimens collected on the south slope of the range at Songpan, Sichuan. The original authors noted its range might be limited to that mountain system. It is easily recognised among Chinese toads by large globular tubercles on top of the head, a tympanum smaller than the eye and a large oblong gland on the tarsus.
