Plains spadefoot toad (Spea bombifrons). This toad is one of the most common spadefoot species in the eastern plains of Colorado and is distinguished by a prominent boss (raised area) between the eyes. All spadefoots have a cornified black wedge on the hind foot.

Couch's spadefoot toad (Scaphiopus couchii). Couch's spadefoot toad is locally common only in a few areas of southeastern Colorado; many areas in and adjacent to the northern section of the Comanche Grasslands provide suitable habitat for this species.
