释义 |
| name = Sicilian green toad | image = Bufo siculus Mario Lo Valvo.jpg | status = LC | status_system = IUCN3.1 | taxon = Bufo siculus | authority = Stöck et al., 2008 }} The Sicilian green toad ({{lang-it|rospo smeraldino siciliano}}) is a green toads found only in Sicily. This toad previously attributed to the Bufo viridis is now recognized as a separate species (Bufo siculus). Recent studies on the Mediterranean populations of Bufo spp. demonstrated that this Sicilian taxon has a distinct mitochondrial haplotype differing in this respect from all other circum-Mediterranean green toad species. It is instead closely related to Bufo boulengeri a North African species of Bufo, from which it separated two million years ago between the Middle Pliocene and the Pleistocene.
