Descripció:We report the range expansion of the Gulf Coast Toad, Incilius valliceps (Wiegmann, 1833), from tropical moist forests to tropical wet forests and towards southeastern Costa Rica. We evaluated erroneous reports of this species in databases on the web. Also, we discussed that movements to areas with wet conditions for a species known from humid and xeric habitats can be explained by the trends in deforestation and increments of the dry conditions during recent decades in the country.
