Rhinella roqueana ( Inglês )

fornecido por wikipedia EN

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.[1][3][4][5] Its specific name refers to its type locality, Roque, San Martín Region, Peru.[5] 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.[1][3][5]

Description

Males measure 54–71 mm (2.1–2.8 in) and females 61–81 mm (2.4–3.2 in) in snout–vent length.[5]

Habitat and conservation

It is an uncommon species living in the leaf-litter of tropical lowland rainforest. Habitat loss is a localized threat to this widely distributed species. For example, its type locality is mostly coffee plantation today.[1]
