Amietophrynus is a large genus of true toads native to Africa. Originally, all Amietophrynus species were included in the genus Bufo. The genus was split due to large enough taxonomic divergence.

Ohler and Dubois[1] showed in 2016 that Sclerophrys capensis Tschudi, 1838 is the same species as Bufo regularis rangeri Hewitt, 1935, the type species of Amietophrynus. Because the former name is older, the implication is that Amietophrynus is a junior synonym of Sclerophrys.[1][2] This change is not yet reflected in Wikipedia.
