Abstract
15 specimens from western Turkey, northern and southern Iran were examined. According to external characters and geographic position, the toads seem to belong to B. v. viridis , to the so-called Transcaspian population group, and to B. v. kermanensis , respectively. The diploid level of toads was evidenced from DNA flow cytometry. The distribution of diploid and polyploid toads in Western Asia is discussed.
