Bufo mertensi Amiet, 1972 — junior homonym of Bufo ictericus mertensi Cochran, 1950 Werneria mertensiana is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae.

It is found in western Cameroon (Mount Nlonako, Mount Manengouba, Mount Kala, possibly Western High Plateau) and possibly in the Obudu Plateau in Nigeria.

[1][2] The specific name mertensiana honours Robert Mertens, a German zoologist and herpetologist.

[3] Common name Mertens' smalltongue toad has been coined for it.

[1][2][3] Werneria mertensiana is typically found associated with rocks in streams and waterfalls in forest and degraded secondary habitats at the lower limit of the submontane zone, 800–1,050 m (2,620–3,440 ft) above sea level.
