Barbarophryne is a genus of toads in the family Bufonidae.

[2] It is a small toad, up to about 5 cm (2 in) in snout–to–vent length.

[3] The Brongersma's toad was initially placed in the genus Bufo and then Pseudepidalea (a synonym of Bufotes), but in 2013 it was moved to its own genus Barbarophryne.

[2] The natural habitats of Barbarophryne brongersmai are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation, intermittent rivers, intermittent freshwater marshes, rocky areas, hot deserts, arable land, ponds, and canals and ditches.

Its habitat is primarily semi-arid sparsely vegetated areas, and it is also thought to be adapted to some disturbed areas.
