Class AMPHIBIA Order SAIJENTIA Family Pelobatidae Scapbiopus couchii Band Scaphiopus couchii Baird, Froc. Acad. Nat Set Philadelphia, 7:62, 1856 (based on specimens from Rio Nazas in Coahuila, and Matamoros in Tamaulipas). Remarks.—Several authors have suggested that Scaphiopus couchii in western Mexico differs from S. couchii in eastern Mexico by having the skin of the occipital and interorbital region almost

Based on an examination of 101 specimens from Sinaloa, Tamaulipas, and Texas, no consistent differences warranting subspecific designation of the population in western Mexico were observed. Spadefoot toads were collected at night on the road or at temporary ponds throughout the lowlands. Breeding commences with the first heavy rains and continues through September. Calling males were collected in the first week of July and amplexing pairs were secured at La Cruz on August 18 and 20. All calling males were floating in the water, Distribution in Sinaloa.—Known from throughout the lowlands of the state. See Fig. 13. Specimens examined.—Aguapepe (CAS 89756); 2.1 mi.
