This work presents evidence that Bufo levicristatus Boettger, 1885 is a senior synonym of Bufo scitulus Caramaschi & Niemeyer, 2003, rather than a junior synonym of Bufo ornatus Spix, 1824. It also demonstrates that Bufo scitulus Caramaschi & Niemeyer, 2003 meets the requirements for a reversal of precedence over the name Bufo levicristatus Boettger, 1885, affirming the maintenance of the name Bufo scitulus for this species.
In this work, we show that Bufo levicristatus Boettger, 1885 is a senior synonym of Bufo scitulus Caramaschi & Niemeyer, 2003, and not a junior synonym of Bufo ornatus Spix, 1824, as previously considered. In addition, we present evidence that Bufo scitulus Caramaschi & Niemeyer, 2003 complies with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature requirements for a reversal of precedence over the name Bufo levicristatus Boettger, 1885, and so the name Bufo scitulus is to be maintained for this species.
