Rhinella jimi is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae that is endemic to northeastern Brazil between Bahia and Maranhão. Prior to its description in 2002, it was confused with Rhinella schneideri (=Bufo/Rhinella paracnemis).[2] It is a very common species that inhabits secondary forests, savanna, agricultural lands, and other open areas and disturbed habitats. Breeding takes place in permanent and temporary ponds. Although it is used for black magic, it is not facing any major threats.[1]
