Bufo Margaritifer
The South American common toad (''Rhinella margaritifera''; also mitred toad, in Spanish sapo crestado) is a species complex of toads in the family Bufonidae. They are found throughout the Amazonian South America (Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela) and eastern Panama. It was originally believed to be a single species, but is now known to represent a complex of more than one. Its natural habitats are primary and secondary lowland, premontane and montane tropical moist forests (including terra firme and seasonally flooded forests). It is a generalist species that can also be found in disturbed areas. Member species As of 2013, there were 16 formally species description, described species within this species complex, complex, as well as an unknown number that are yet to be recognized. *''Rhinella acutirostris'' *''Rhinella alata'' *''Rhinella castaneotica'' *''Rhinella dapsilis'' *''Rhinella hoogmoedi'' *''Rhinella lescurei'' *' ...

Joseph Nicolai Laurenti
Josephus Nicolaus Laurenti (4 December 1735, Vienna – 17 February 1805, Vienna) was an Austrian naturalist and zoologist of Italian origin. Laurenti is considered the auctor of the class Reptilia (reptiles) through his authorship of ' (1768) on the poisonous function of reptiles and amphibians. This was an important book in herpetology, defining thirty genera of reptiles; Carl Linnaeus's 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae'' in 1758 defined only ten genera. ''Specimen Medicum'' contains a description of the blind salamander (amphibian): ''Proteus anguinus'', purportedly collected from cave waters in Slovenia (or possibly western Croatia , image_flag = Flag of Croatia.svg , image_coat = Coat of arms of Croatia.svg , anthem = "Lijepa naša domovino"("Our Beautiful Homeland") , image_map = , map_caption = , capit ...); this description represented one of the first published accounts of a cave animal in the we ...

Rhinella Alata
''Rhinella'', commonly known as South American toads, beaked toads or Rio Viejo toads, is a genus of true toads native to Neotropical parts of Mexico, Central and South America. Additionally, the cane toad has been introduced to Australia, the Caribbean, the Philippines and elsewhere. Originally, all species of the genus ''Rhinella'' were included in the genus ''Bufo'', then they were split into the genera ''Chaunus'' and ''Rhamphophryne''. However, ''Chaunus'' and ''Rhamphophryne'' are now considered synonyms of ''Rhinella''. Etymology * ''Rhinella'' means ‘little nose’, from ''rhino-'' (), the combining form of the Ancient Greek ' (, ‘nose’) and the Latin diminutive A diminutive is a root word that has been modified to convey a slighter degree of its root meaning, either to convey the smallness of the object or quality named, or to convey a sense of intimacy or endearment.

Rhinella Scitula
''Rhinella scitula'' is a species of toads in the family Bufonidae. It is found in the southwestern Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, and in the adjacent southeastern Paraguay (Amambay and Concepción Departments). Description Males measure and females in snout–vent length. The species has a robust appearance. The snout is rounded with a small apical apophysis in dorsal view and sub-acuminate in lateral profile. The coloration is variable. The dorsum is generally light brown to dark brown. Light-colored individuals have no pattern or have a cream vertebral line. Darker specimens have a broadish, light brown vertebral stripe. There is a black, triangular inter-ocular spot facing backward, as well as an oblong dorsal blackish spot that connects to another black spot near the urostyle. The belly is light creamy, marbled with light gray. Habitat and conservation ''Rhinella scitula'' is associated with seasonal forests and mountainous landscapes at elevations between above sea leve ...

Rhinella Roqueana
''Rhinella roqueana'' is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is found in northern Peru, eastern Ecuador ( Pastaza), Amazonian Colombia ( Amazonas and Caquetá Departments), and adjacent western Brazil. Its specific name refers to its type locality, Roque, San Martín Region, Peru. Its taxonomic position is uncertain and it is not clear how to distinguish it from other members in the '' Rhinella margaritifera'' group in the area. Description Males measure and females in snout–vent length. Habitat and conservation It is an uncommon species living in the leaf-litter of tropical lowland rainforest. Habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species.

Rhinella Proboscidea
''Rhinella proboscidea'' is a species of small South American toad in the family Bufonidae, common in the Amazon rainforest. It is the only species known to practice reproductive necrophilia. Taxonomy The specific name derives from the Latin ''proboscis'' ( elephant trunk), in recognition of the toad's prominent beak. It is a member of the '' R. margaritifera'' species complex. The species was first described under the name ''Bufo proboscideus'' by Johann Baptist von Spix in 1824. Spix collected the holotype specimen near the Solimões River during his journey to Brazil. It is now held by the Zoologische Staatssammlung München. In 2006, members of the ''Bufo'' margaritifera complex were recognized as the new genus ''Rhinella'', leading to the current name. The merge of another genus into ''Rhinella'' left a different species sharing this name (homonymy), which was resolved by renaming the other species ''Rhinella boulengeri'' (now '' Dendrophryniscus proboscideus'').
