In the Nearctic Region, only five species of Cepedea have been described [Stokes, 1884;Metcalf, 1923Metcalf, , 1940Evans et al, 1977 -but their record in "Cepedea lanceolatum" presumably refers to C. lanceolata (Bezzenberger, 1904), now Bezzenbergeria lanceolata Earl, 1973]; although this species has only been reported in the Oriental Region) and several unidentified species reported (Metcalf, 1923;Lehmann, 1960;Earl, 1971). The records are in the Bufonidae, Hylidae, Pelobatidae and Ranidae.…”
