}}Rhinella arborescandens is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to Peru and only known from its type locality near Mendoza, northern Cordillera Central, in the Amazonas Region.[1][3] It is unusual among Rhinella toads because it is arboreal, hence the specific name arborescandens, derived from Latin arbor for tree and scando meaning to climb.

Description

Rhinella arborescandens is a small and robust-bodied toad. The type series consists of an adult male (the holotype) measuring {{convert|35|mm|abbr=on}} and an adult female measuring {{convert|38|mm|abbr=on}} in snout–vent length. The dorsum is reddish brown, and the male had a pale yellow mid-dorsal stripe. The parotoid gland is ovoid. The cranial crests are absent, as is the tympanum. The skin bears evenly distributed, small tubercles.{{Location map | Peru

Habitat and conservation

The natural habitat of Rhinella arborescandens is montane tropical rainforest.[1] The type specimens were found in bromeliads some 5–6 metres above the ground at an elevation of about {{convert|2400|m|abbr=on}} above sea level; it shares this microhabitat with Pristimantis schultei. The location is unprotected, but the threats to this little known species are unknown.[1]
