Northeastern Brazil from Maranhão to Bahia and Piauí at elevations of 400-500 m.
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.
