Amietophrynus camerunensis
Description | Sclerophrys camerunensis is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is found in southeastern Nigeria, southern Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea (including the island of Bioko), Gabon, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The record from southwestern Tanzania is uncertain. It is presumed to occur in the Republic of the Congo. Records from West Africa (other than southeastern Nigeria) probably refer to Sclerophrys togoensis. Common names Cameroon toad and Oban toad have been coined for this species.
