Rhinophrynus dorsalis Duméril and Bibron

Oaxaca: Ixtepec; Limón; Salina Cruz (18); Tehuantepec (57); Tuxtepec (3). Veracruz: Amatitlán (3); Cosamaloapan (5); Novillero (2); San Lorenzo.

This species inhabits the scrub forests of the Pacific coastal plain and the savannas in southern Veracruz; apparently it does not occur in rainforest. Consequently, its distribution in the isthmus is discontinuous.
