It is endemic to northeastern Brazil and known between Bujaru in northeastern Pará and Maranhão in the north, south to Bahia and Vitória, Espírito Santo. Prior to its description in 2002, it was confused with Rhinella schneideri (=Bufo/Rhinella paracnemis). The specific name jimi honors Jorge Jim, a Brazilian herpetologist.
