It was originally described in the genus Bufo in 1970.^[3] In 2006, it was removed from that genus but not assigned to another genus until 2009 when it was assigned to Duttaphrynus.^[3] This was reversed in 2015 due to physical characteristics that are similar to both Duttaphrynus and Sclerophrys.^[3]
