Rhinella pombali is a formerly recognized species of toad from Southeast Brazil, named after José Perez Pombal, Jr., a Brazilian herpetologist. It was described in 2004. However, a genetic study published in 2012 found it to be a hybrid of Rhinella ornata and Rhinella crucifer; it is also morphologically intermediate between these species. It is therefore no longer considered a valid species, although it is still present in some listings.
