Formerly included in
Alsophylax (e.g., Wermuth 1965). Revalidated by Szczerbak & Golubev (1977). Previously included
Trachydactylus. The reported presence of Bunopus in Egypt (e.g., Saleh 1997) is based on the type locality of blanfordii, which is in error. Already Schmidt (1939) pointed out that the types must have come from Arabia (Baha el Din 2006).

Remarks:
Presence in Egypt (e.g., Saleh 1997) is based on the type locality of blanfordii, which is in error. Already Schmidt (1939) pointed out that the types must have come from Arabia (Baha el Din 2006). Bauer, Masroor, Titus-McQuillan, Heinicke, Daza & Jackman (2013) considered blanfordii a valid species pending further investigation.
