Bufotes cypriensis, the Cyprus green toad, is the most recently recognized species of this genus and it was believed to be the same as Bufotes viridis, the European green toad, until 2019.

It can be found in meadows, grasslands, forests, shrublands and steppe habitats, as well as a range of wetland areas and any waterbody that is exposed to direct sunlight.

It can be found from sea level to an altitude of 700 metres (2,300 ft).
