Wikipedia Abstract

Boettger's horned toad, Boettger's spadefoot toad, or pale-shouldered horned toad (Xenophrys boettgeri), is a species of toad found in southern and southeastern China (the northern border runs roughly from Sichuan in the west to Shanxi in the north and Zhejiang in the east) and northeastern India (Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, and Assam). A closely related but probably as yet undescribed species in found in Tibet. It is not certain that the Indian specimens belong to Xenophrys boettgeri either.
