"Ingerophrynus" is a genus of true toads with eleven species. This genus was established after a major taxonomically revision of frogs [Frost, Grant, Faivovich, Bain, Haas, Haddad, de Sá, Channing, Wilkinson, Donnellan, Raxworthy, Campbell, Blotto, Moler, Drewes, Nussbaum, Lynch, Green, and Wheeler, 2006, "Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History" 297: 219. [http://digitallibrary.amnh.org/dspace/bitstream/2246/5781/1/B297.pdf] ] . Ten of the species in this genus was formerly considered species of the genus "Bufo". In 2007 a new species, "Ingerophrynus gollum", was added to this genus. This species is named after the character Gollum created by J. R. R. Tolkien. These species are endemic to Southern Yunnan and Indochina; peninsular Thailand and Malaya to Sumatra, Borneo, Java, Nias Island, and Sulawesi.
