The fingers are long and slender and without enlarged tips and webbing.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Incilius leucomyos”, the useful work is to connect “species of amphibian” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q21968112. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2000.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
