Abstract

We document the first record of hetero-specific employment between Rhinella horribilis and Rhinophrynus dorsalis, from the Ejido Tierra y Libertad, municipality of Jiquipilas, Chiapas, Mexico. This behavior is a reproductive interference. We suggest that more than one reason for this behavior occurred.
