Comment

Most similar to Rhaebo guttatus and Rhaebo glaberrimus according to the original publication. Székely, Armijos-Ojeda, Ordóñez-Delgado, Székely, and Cogǎlniceanu, 2016, Check List, 12 (5: 1966): 1–5, provided a record for Zamora-Chinchipe, southern Ecuador on the Amazonian versant. Rodríguez and Duellman, 1994, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 22: 13, provided a brief account for Peru (as Bufo glaberrimus).
