Bufo formosus

Bufo formosus (Bufo formosus) is a Japanese true toad retained as the exact catalogue taxon Bufo formosus. Identification should combine body shape, skin texture, colour pattern, toe structure and locality because related frogs can be extremely similar. Claims are limited to the species accounts opened for this batch (Wikipedia, general species account). Field identification should remain cautious when diagnostic measurements or clear photographs are unavailable.

The opened general account supplied no accessible species text, so diagnostic appearance, distribution and ecology remain unstated pending a readable species-level source. Information absent from those species-level sources is omitted rather than borrowed from relatives. Japanese occurrence follows the site's catalogue and the opened distribution account, without using IUCN conservation material (Wikipedia, general species account; Wildlife of Japan occurrence records).
