Comment
In the Bufo marinus group and most closely related to Bufo paracnemis according to the original publication. Confused with Rhinella paracnemis prior to its description. Kwet, Di-Bernardo, and Maneyro, 2006, Iheringia, Zool., 96: 479–485, provided a key to distinguish this species from other members of the Rhinella marina group. Maneyro and Kwet, 2008, Stuttgart. Beit. Naturkd., Ser. A, Neue Ser., 1: 95–121, noted that populations in Bahia and Pernambuco previously assigned to Rhinella schneideri may actually be assignable to this species. Vallinoto, Sequeira, Sodré, Bernardi, Sampaio, and Schneider, 2010, Zool. Scripta, 39: 128–140, and Maciel, Garcia, Colli, and Schwartz, 2010, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 57: 787–797, reported on the molecular phylogenetics of the Rhinella marina group, including this species. Silva, Santos, Alves, Sousa, and Annunziata, 2010, Sitientibus, Ser. Cienc. Biol., 7: 334–340, provided records for Piauí. Garda, São Pedro, and Lion, 2010, S. Am. J. Herpetol., 5: 151–156, reported on the calls. Tolledo and Toledo, 2010, J. Herpetol., 44: 480–483, reported on comparative larval morphology. Oliveira, Weber, and Napoli, 2014, Herpetol. J., 24: 229–236, reported on larval morphology of the chondrocranium and hypobranchial apparatus. Valencia-Zuleta and Maciel, 2017, Herpetol. Rev., 48: 385, provided a records from Espíritu Santo and Pará, Brazil, and briefly discussed the range. Juncá, 2006, Biota Neotrop., 6: 1–17, briefly summarized the presence of this species in the Serra da Jibóia region, Bahia, Brazil, and its habitat. Dubeux, Silva, Nascimento, Gonçalves, and Mott, 2019, Rev. Nordestina Zool., 12: 18–52, summarized the literature on larval morphology. See Dubeux, Nascimento, Lima, Magalhães, Silva, Gonçalves, Almeida, Correia, Garda, Mesquita, Rossa-Feres, and Mott, 2020, Biota Neotrop., 20 (2: e20180718): 1–24, for characterization and identification of larvae north of the Rio São Francisco in the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil. Silva, Cândido, Cipriano, Vieira, Pinheiro, and Silva, 2020, Cuad. Herpetol., 34: 271-274, reported on karyotype.
