Amietophrynus taiensis is a species of toad endemic to Côte d'Ivoire. It is listed as a critical endangered species due to a restricted range of probably less than 10 km². All 4 individuals surveyed are in a single sub-population. Major threats to this species exist because of ongoing forest loss in south-western Côte d'Ivoire, due to agriculture, timber extraction, and human settlement. Further work is required to determine its natural history, population distribution, range limits, and population status.
