Bumblebee toad?

Bumblebee toad? - Amphibians - Blue Planet Aquarium - 29/04/2012.
Melanophryniscus stelzneri from grassland areas of South America. I googled these to find out what they are. Very cool little things, I'd never heard of them before.

Thanks for the scientific name, there was no label for it at the aquarium and typing bumblebee toad into wikipedia yielded no relevant results. I'm familiar with the species in the pet trade, and wondered if they had another common name as the pet trade names are often different to make them sound more desirable [Emerald tree monitor as opposed to green tree monitor for example].
 
I first became aware of this toad last year, and I now have a favourite amphibian. I feel I need to visit Blue Planet as soon as I have my new camera.
