| Sumario: | In this note we reviewed specimens of Rhinophrynus dorsalis previously deposited in the anuran collection of the Museo de Historia Natural- Ciudad Universitaria (MHN-CU) of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras (UNAH) to provide additional data regarding its distribution and habitat occurrence. The specimens were identified as Rhinophrynus dorsalis based on Campbell (1999), Köhler (2001, 2011), Köhler et al. (2006), and McCranie and Castañeda (2007). They exhibit the following characteristics: truncated snout in dorsal view; small and narrow head; robust body with tiny eyes; vomerine teeth absent; four toes and a pair of enlarged digging tubercles. Duméril and Bibron (1841), Campbell (1999), and McCranie and Wilson (2002) considered these latter two features to be autapomorphic characteristics of the species. |
