Rhinella (Beaked Toads or Rio Viejo Toads) is a subgenus of Bufo (treated by some as a distinct genus) containing 71 species of true toads native to Neotropical Central and South America.
Originally, all Rhinella species were included in the genus Bufo, then they were split into Chaunus and Rhamphophryne. However, Chaunus and Rhamphophryne may also be considered synonyms of Rhinella.
Some authors continue to include Rhinella as a subgroup with the genus Bufo.
Note: Species below are shown as species of Rhinella, but are treated as species of Bufo by many authors.
