Material examined.

Recently,
Acevedo et al. (2016)
proposed that popu- lations of
Rhinella marina
(
Linnaeus, 1758
)
distributed west of the Andean cordilleras should be considered a different species from the eastern populations. There- fore, the eastern populations should maintain the name
R. marina
and
R. horribilis
should be revalidated for the western populations. According to this concept, the
Magdalena
river valley populations correspond to
R. horribilis
(
Wiegmann, 1833
)
