Rhaebo guttatus View in CoL is an Amazonian and Guayanan species whose range extends as far south as Bolivia ( Lötters et al. 2000). This species is common in Venezuela south of the Orinoco, but also is present in at least one Amazonian locality north of the Orinoco ( Barrio et al. 2001). These toads are common in Canaracuni, where the voucher specimen was collected along the river under a log. Several males were heard calling on 24–26 March on a riverbank at Locality IV. The species is eaten by the Ye’kwana, but we do not have details about its preparation.
