Bufotes latastii, commonly known as the Baltistan toad, Ladakh toad or vertebral-banded toad, is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae.[2][3] It is found in the West Himalayan region at altitudes of 780–3,200 m (2,560–10,500 ft) from northern Pakistan to Ladakh in India; although sometimes reported elsewhere, this is the result of misidentifications of other species.[4] It is found in alpine forests, coniferous forests, grasslands, paddy fields, mountain desert and roadsides. It often lives near water, like lakes and ponds, in the riparian growth.[1][4] It can be beneficial to humans as it feeds on insects and their larvae within areas of agriculture.[3]
It is generally fairly common,[4] and not considered threatened by the IUCN, although locally declining due to habitat loss (logging), pesticides, and other sources of pollution.[1]
Adult B. latastii have a snout–to–vent length of about 4.5–6.2 cm (1.8–2.4 in).[3][5]
