Taxonomy

Bufo serratus was named by Filhol (1876). It is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Phosphorites du Quercy (for taxa with non-specific locality data), which is in an Eocene/Miocene terrestrial phosphorite in the Quercy Phosphorites Formation of France.

It was considered a nomen dubium by Rage (2006).
