Type locality: “America.” Distribution: Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Widespread from Mexico through Central America and South America to Paraguay and Northern Argentina ; also, in Trinidad and Tobago . Widespread in lowland Venezuela , even in disturbed areas. Remarks : This taxon recently changed genus and species. Most commonly known as Phrynohyas venulosa , until Faivovich et al. (2005) transferred it to the genus Trachycephalus , as T. venulosus . Then Lavilla et al. (2010) elucidated the long controversial nomen typhonius (used for a complex of bufonids as Bufo typhonius , and for an Asian ranoid) to be applied as Trachycephalus typhonius .
