Comment
In the Rhinella margaritifera group according to the original publication. Rhinella lescuri, the first usage in the original paper is taken as an incorrect original spelling, the alternative Rhinella lescurei being used subsequently in the paper. Also in the original publication was a discussion of vocalization and external morphology. See account for Suriname population by Ouboter and Jairam, 2012, Amph. Suriname: 58-61. Costa-Campos, Figueiredo, Jairam, and Fouquet, 2020, Herpetol. Notes, 13: 801–804, provided a record for central Amapá, Brazil, and discussed and mapped the range. In the Rhinella margaritifera clade, Rhinella margaritifera group of Pereyra, Blotto, Baldo, Chaparro, Ron, Elias-Costa, Iglesias, Venegas, Thomé, Ospina-Sarria, Maciel, Rada, Kolenc, Borteiro, Rivera-Correa, Rojas-Runjaic, Moravec, De la Riva, Wheeler, Castroviejo-Fisher, Grant, Haddad, and Faivovich, 2021, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 447: 1–156. Taucce, Costa-Campos, Carvalho, and Michalski, 2022, Eur. J. Taxon., 836: 96–130, reported on distribution, literature, and conservation status for Amapá, Brazil.
