Abstract
Two undescribed species from the eastern slopes of the Peruvian Andes exhibit synapomorphies indicating that they are sister taxa and members of the family Bufonidae. These are small toads that lack parotoid glands and digital webbing, and have partially fused epicoracoid cartilages. The clade formed by these species is named as a new, phylogenetically defined, taxon within Bufonidae: Truebella. The phylogenetic status of the supraspecific taxa within Bufonidae is reviewed; of 33 genera, only 12 have evidence of monophyly. Therefore, a purely phylogenetic taxonomy of Bufonidae would require elimination or redefinition of many taxon names. Although we do not take such action at this time, we see use of phylogenetic definitions of taxon names as an important goal for the future if the rich diversity of bufonids is to be more thoroughly understood. Key words: Anura; Bufonidae; Peru; Phylogenetic Options; Truebella.
