Sclerophrys kisoloensis is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is found in southwestern Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, northeastern Zambia, western Tanzania, and (pending confirmation) northern Malawi.[1][2] It probably also occurs in Burundi.[1] Common names Kisolo toad and montane golden toad have been coined for it.[2]
Sclerophrys kisoloensis occurs in mature, undisturbed montane forests at elevations of 1,500–3,000 m (4,900–9,800 ft) above sea level, possibly wider. Breeding takes place in pools and slow streams. It is a rarely encountered species in most of its range. It can be threatened by habitat loss caused particularly by agriculture and wood extraction.[1]
