Peltophryne is a genus of true toads in the family Bufonidae,[1][2][3] from the Greater Antilles (in Cuba, Isla de Juventud, Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico).[1] With ten endemic species, Cuba hosts the highest diversity. Hispaniola has three endemics and Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands combined have one.[4]
