A new species of Bufo (Anura: Bufonidae) from Myanmar (Burma), and redescription of the little-known species Bufo stuarti Smith 1929

A new species of Bufo is described from the Rakhine State near the Rakhine Yoma Elephant Range in western Myanmar. This species is morphologically similar to Bufo melanostictus, but it is distinguished by its smaller body size at maturity, the bright breeding coloration of the males, and its advertisement call. The new species brings the total number of bufonid species known to occur in Myanmar to seven; all are referred to the genus Bufo. Additionally, Bufo stuarti Smith 1929 is redescribed from the type specimen and more recently acquired specimens from the vicinity of the type locality. Lastly, a key to the Bufo of Myanmar is provided.
