Secondary Homonymy of Bufo Proboscideus Spix, 1824, with Phryniscus Proboscideus Boulenger, 1882

Chaparro et al. (2007) recently placed Rhamphophryne Trueb, 1971 into the synonymy of Rhinella Fitzinger, 1826. The result of this synonymy is that Bufo (Oxyrhynchus) proboscideus Spix, 1824 (formerly Rhinella proboscidea) and Phryniscus proboscideus Boulenger, 1882 (formerly Rhamphophryne proboscidea) are rendered as secondary homonyms. To remedy this homonymy we provide the new name Rhinella boulengeri as a replacement for the junior name, Phryniscus proboscideus, under the provisions of Article 60 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (1999).
