''Rhinella proboscidea'' is a species of small South American toads in the Bufonidae family, common in the Amazon rainforest. It is the only species known to practice reproductive necrophilia.〔 ==Taxonomy==
The specific name derives from the Latin ''proboscis'' (elephant trunk), in recognition of the toad's prominent beak. It is a member of the ''R. margaritifera'' species complex.〔 The species was first described under the name ''Bufo proboscideus'' by Johann Baptist von Spix in 1824. Spix collected the holotype specimen near the Solimões River during his journey to Brazil. It is now held by the Zoologische Staatssammlung München. In 2006, members of the ''Bufo'' margaritifera complex were recognized as the new genus ''Rhinella'', leading to the current name. The merge of another genus into ''Rhinella'' left a different species sharing this name (homonymy), which was resolved by renaming the other species ''Rhinella boulengeri'' (now ''Dendrophryniscus proboscideus'').
