Not at all Chief...I was planning to write a stern letter to the Taxonomy guys and tell them to change the spelling. Now, I will propose the change and you can second it and the motion will be carried through! Thanks a pile for the support...:) :)

:)) :)) They should have spelled it Dattaphrynus, hope you don't mind.

Happy to, Chief. I worked on this species for my PhD...it was called Bufo then....I like to think they call it Duttaphrynus after me. Ha. Ha ha....
