Description

Genus Ceratophrys Wied-Neuwied, 1824

Type species: Ceratophrys varius Wied-Neuwied, 1824 (= Bufo auritus Raddi, 1823), by subsequent designation of Fitzinger (1843).

Remarks: Ceratophrys cornuta (Linnaeus 1758) was considered to occur in Venezuela (Rivero 1961; Lynch 1982). This was accepted by many subsequent authors until Barrio-Amorós (2004) deleted it from the Venezuelan checklist for lack of any voucher or photographs of the species in the country.
