[1] Sclerophrys vittata is a small toad with long, narrow parotoid glands, distinctive dark-coloured longitudinal stripes and rows of large tubercles on its upper surface, and a bold patterning of red and dark blotches on its underside.

Its range extends from Lira southwards to Entebbe and the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.

It has also been reported from Katera in the southern foothills of Mount Kenya, but this record is disputed.

From 1989 to 1991, Akef and Schneider investigated the reproductive behavior and analyzed the calls of Bufo vittatus in Egypt in the Al−Fayoum region.

[4] In 1993 a new species of toad was described by Sherif Baha el Din from the Nile Delta as Bufo kassasii, and it is thought the original identification of Sclerophrys vittata from Egypt referred to this new species, also known as the Nile Delta toad.

[3] However, it is possible that this species has a wider range including parts of the Nile Valley and into Egypt.

[4] Calling males gather in small shallow ponds, irrigation canals and ditches, rice and corn fields.
