Revisión de la dieta de Leptodeira rhombifera (Colubridae) y nuevo caso de intento de depredación de Rhinella horribilis (Bufonidae) en Nicaragua. Las interacciones presa-depredador son importantes para comprender la dinámica de especies, por lo cual aportamos datos relevantes de la dieta de Leptodeira rhombifera a través de la búsqueda exhaustiva de publicaciones concerniente a sus presas, conjuntamente reportamos por primera vez el intento de depredación de Rhinella horribilis por L. rhombifera en el pacífico de Nicaragua. Corroboramos que la dieta de L. rhombifera está dirigida hacia anfibios; sin embargo, los reptiles y peces forma parte sustancial de sus hábitos alimenticios. Por último, destacamos que R. horribilis podría representar una alternativa en los hábitos alimentarios del género Leptodeira y probablemente de otras serpientes terrestres.

Predator - prey interactions are important for understanding species dynamics; therefore, we provide relevant data on the diet of Leptodeira rhombifera through an exhaustive literature review of its diet. We also report for the first time the predation attempt of Rhinella horribilis by L. rhombifera in the Pacific region of Nicaragua. We corroborate that the diet of L. rhombifera primarily targets amphibians; however, reptiles and fish also form a substantial part of its feeding habits. Finally, we emphasize that R. horribilis could represent an alternative in the feeding habits of the genus Leptodeira and probably of other terrestrial snakes.
