Rhinella inopina sp. nov. is restricted to the disjunct Seasonal Tropical Dry Forests enclaves in the western Cerrado biome. The new species is characterized mainly by head wider than long, shape of parotoid gland, and oblique arrangement of the parotoid gland. Data on natural history and distribution are also presented. Key words: Rhinella crucifer group, Seasonally Dry Forest, Cerrado, Central Brazil Introduction The cosmopolitan Bufonidae family (true toads) presented currently 528 species. The second most diverse genus of Bufonidae, Rhinella Fitzinger 1826, comprises 77 species, distributed in the Neotropics and some species were introduced in several world locations (Frost 2011). -

Predation of Rhinella Ornata (Anura: Bufonidae) by the Water Snake Erythrolamprus Miliaris (Squamata: Dipsadidae) in São Paulo, Brazil
Herpetology Notes, volume 11: 449-450 (2018) (published online on 24 May 2018) Predation of Rhinella ornata (Anura: Bufonidae) by the water snake Erythrolamprus miliaris (Squamata: Dipsadidae) in São Paulo, Brazil Edelcio Muscat1 and Matheus de Toledo Moroti2,* Snakes are carnivorous animals that feed on a wide observation, other anuran species was calling in the variety of prey (Toft, 1985). Anurans are among the same pond (Boana faber, Physalaemus olfersii, Scinax main food items of the Atlantic Forest snakes (Hartmann crospedospilus, Rhinella icterica). At the start of the et al., 2009). However, many amphibians have a large observation, the predation had already occurred and the defensive repertoire against their predators including snake was ingesting the toad head-first (Figure 1a). mechanical defensive mechanisms (e.g. puffing up the The Rhinella ornata was motionless and had its lungs body, thanatosis, spine aggression) as well as chemical inflated in an effort to avoid its ingestion by the snake defence mechanisms (e.g. secretions) (Toledo et al., (sensu Toledo et al., 2011), which occurred over about 2011; Wells, 2007). 3 minutes. The behaviour of remaining motionless Frogs of the genus Rhinella Fitzinger, 1826 have (immobility) is a primary defensive that allows the parotoid glands, which produce toxins, and are used anuran to pass unnoticed by the predator (Toledo et al., both as a defensive mechanism against predators and 2011). Moreover, it is a mechanism that can prevent as defence against microorganisms (Tempone et al., possible injuries if swallowed (Sazima, 1974). The 2008; Jared et al., 2009). The toxins secreted by such toxicity of the parotoid glands present in bufonids can glands can be lethal when a particular predator ingested provide an advantage over the predator; once the snake these frog species (Barbosa et al., 2009). -
