The taxonomy of this species is still being debated. Some experts consider this a separate genus and species (Spea multiplicata), the New Mexico spadefoot, while others consider it a subspecies of the Western Spadefoot (Scaphiopus hammondi multiplicata). It hybridizes with the Plains Spadefoot where their ranges overlap.
