Description
Rhinella dorbignyi is a South American species of toad in the family Bufonidae. The specific name, dorbignyi, is in honor of French naturalist Alcide d'Orbigny. Its common name is d'Orbigny's toad or Dorbigny's toad [sic]. Rhinella dorbignyi has been in the past treated as subspecies of Bufo globulosus (now Rhinella granulosa). Rhinella dorbignyi can hybridize with Rhinella fernandezae; these species might be conspecific.
