Rhaebo
''Rhaebo'' is a genus of true toads, family Bufonidae, from Central and South America. They are distributed from Honduras to northern South America including the Amazonian lowlands. Common name Cope toads has been suggested for them. Taxonomy The genus was removed from the synonymy of ''Bufo'' in 2006; an alternative view has been to treat it as a subgenus of ''Bufo''. At present, it is widely recognized as a genus. ''Andinophryne'', consisting of three species, was recognized as a separate genus until 2015 when it was found out that its recognition rendered ''Rhaebo'' paraphyletic. An alternative to synonymizing it with ''Rhaebo'' would have been to erect a new genus for '' Rhaebo nasicus'', but this would have caused difficulty in assigning species without molecular data to correct genus. Description ''Rhaebo'' are characterized as lacking cephalic crests, having omosternum, distinctively wide sphenethmoid, prominent and notched exoccipital condyles, and yellowish-orange sk ...

Rhaebo Guttatus
The smooth-sided toad or spotted toad (''Rhaebo guttatus''), formerly known as ''Bufo guttatus'', is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is found in the Amazonian Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela, as well as the Guianas (French Guiana, Guyana, and Suriname). Specimens from southern Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil might represent ''Rhaebo ecuadorensis'' described in 2012. Description Males growth to about snout–vent length. Females are larger, at up to , possibly even , in snout–vent length. The dorsal color is cream colored or very light brown to reddish brown. The belly is a darker shade. The species has a characteristically prominent preocular ridge that is present even in juveniles. The smooth sided toad secretes a toxin from a gland behind their eyes known as a bufotoxin, it has been known to cause heart failure in humans if ingested.

Rhaebo Glaberrimus
''Rhaebo glaberrimus'' is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae.
