I modified (let us hope corrected) the identification of a number of Madagascar species based on information in the new 3rd edition of the Madagascar field guide by Glaw and Vences.

I updated the scientific and common names of all remaining amphibian species to match the taxonomy used in the American Museum of Natural History's Amphibian Species of the World. This affected many non-U.S. species, including most of the Madagascar frogs.

I updated the scientific and common names of all North American species to match the brand new 6th edition of the SSAR's standard names book. Many of your favorite species will now be found under new names. So don't panic if you can't find Phrynosoma coronatum (Coast Horned Lizard); it's still there under Phrynosoma blainvillii (Blainville's Horned Lizard). And if you're lost looking for bullfrogs under Rana catesbeiana, just look under Lithobates catesbeianus instead. Dozens of species were renamed or reclassified, so look around.

While I was at it, I also reclassified some (but not yet all) of the amphibian species from the rest of the world to follow the recently radically revised taxonomy on the American Museum of Natural History's Amphibian Species of the World.
