Comment
See account (as Rhamphophryne proboscidea) by Izecksohn, 1976, Rev. Brasil. Biol., 36: 341-345. Feio, Pimenta, and Silvano, 2003, Amphibia-Reptilia, 24: 108-112, reported on new localities other than the type locality. Lantyer-Silva, Lourenço-de-Moraes, Siqueira, and Solé, 2011, Check List, 7: 825-826 provided a range extension within Bahia (as Rhinella boulengeri).
