Item Reptilia, Squamata, Amphisbaenidae, Amphisbaena brasiliana (Gray, 1865): range extension.(Herpetology Notes, 2013) Dorado-Rodrigues, Tainá Figueras; Strüssmann, Christine; Lima, Francco Antonio Neri de Souza e; Valadão, Rafael Martins; Motta, TamíAmphisbaena brasiliana is a Brazilian endemic amphisbaenid (Bérnils and Costa, 2012) described after a single specimen obtained in the municipality of Santarém, state of Pará (Gray, 1865: 448). Besides the type locality and vicinities (Gans, 1971; Spencer, 2012), thespecies is known from other three municipalities in the same state: Belém (Gans, 1971), Aveiro (Rio Cupari; Strauch, 1883) and Parauapebas (" Serra dos Carajás " ; Cunha et al., 1985). Two vouchered but imprecise additional records from localities along the " rio Amazonas " (Amazon River), and one undocumented record for Paraíba do Norte, state of Paraíba, were mentioned by Gans (1971), but this latter record was considered by that author as " questionable ". The species has also been found in Guarantã do Norte, extreme north of the state of Mato Grosso (Mott and Vieites, 2009; Pinna et al., 2010), the southernmost record until now. Herein we report three new municipality records for Amphisbaena brasiliana in the states of Pará and Mato Grosso which greatly extend the known distribution of this species. In addition, we provide data on habitats and a photo of a live specimen. Specimens were collected under IBAMA/SISBIO permits # 02001.000822/2008-71 and # 19518-1, and voucher specimens are deposited at Coleção Zoológica de Vertebrados, Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso (UFMT; Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Brazil). Records accessed through the HerpNET (Spencer, 2012) data portal are held in the Museum of Comparative Zoology (Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA). In December 2006, a single individual of Amphisbaena brasiliana (UFMT 7785) was found in a semi-deciduous forest in the right margin of the reservoir of the hydroelectric power plant Cabeça de Boi, rio Cabeça de Boi, municipality of Alta Floresta, Mato Grosso (10º 19' S, 56º 58' W). In October 2009, another individual (UFMT 8477) was found in an alluvial semi-deciduous forest on the left margin of the reservoir of Herpetology Notes, volume 6: XXX-XXX (2013) (published online on XX Xxxx 2013)Item Herpetofauna from a protected area situated in a biogeographic transition zone in Central South America(Biota Neotropica, 2025) Tainá Figueras Dorado-Rodrigues; Rafael Martins Valadão; Luciana Mendes Valério; Carolina Potter de Castro; Christine StrüssmannSeveral herpetofaunal inventories have been conducted in the Neotropical region. However, many areas remain to be investigated, and this is particularly true of transition zones between distinct ecoregions. Herein we describe the richness, species composition, and abundance of herpetofauna from a scarcely known portion of the Brazilian Cerrado and assess the taxonomic similarities of the assemblages among the sampled habitats and between neighbouring ecoregions. A mid-term herpetological inventory was conducted from May 2009 to January 2011 at Serra das Araras Ecological Station (SAES) using pitfall traps with drift fences in five distinct forested and open habitats. In these and in additional habitats, visual and acoustic searches and occasional encounters were also used to access the local composition of the herpetofauna, together with literature data and examination of specimens deposited in collections. We also compared the species composition at SAES on a regional scale with those of other 29 localities previously studied in nine South American ecoregions. We documented 123 species at the SAES (39 amphibians and 84 reptiles), 112 of which were recorded during the field inventory. Richness was highest in riparian forests and lowest in semi-deciduous dry forest and cerrado woodland. Riparian forests also presented the highest number of exclusive species, while only one exclusive species was found in cerrado woodland. Cerrado sensu stricto and cerrado parkland contained 53 and 40 species, including seven and 10 exclusive species, respectively, and showed greater similarity than the sampled forested habitats. In comparison to other localities in the Cerrado (including transition zones), SAES is home to one of the most diverse assemblages of herpetofauna. This may be attributed to continued sampling efforts and to the marked environmental heterogeneity resulting from the topographic profile and confluence of several ecoregions. Amphibian species composition at SAES is more similar to a nearby locality also studied in the Cerrado and to Chiquitano Dry Forest assemblages, while the reptile species composition is nested among the assemblages studied in the Cerrado. Our findings indicate that the herpetofauna of SAES is rich and representative of the regional biodiversity, with species composition evidencing its transitional character.Item Squamate Reptiles of the central Chapada Diamantina, with a focus on the municipality of Mucugê, state of Bahia, Brazil.(Check List, 2012-02-01) Marco Antonio, de Freitas; Diogo, Veríssimo; Vivian, UhligWe present the first species list of squamate reptiles for the central region of the Chapada Diamantina, with a focus on the municipality of Mucugê, state of Bahia Brazil. The data provided were mostly collected in the Caraíbas estate, during vegetation clearing operations for agriculture. The remnant records were collected from roadkills encountered in Mucugê and neighboring municipalities. We found 64 species of squamate reptiles including 35 species of snakes, 25 of lizards and four of amphisbaenians. These records have already yielded three species descriptions with others likely to follow. This is evidence of the poorly documented herpetological diversity of the Chapada Diamantina. The present work highlights the need for further research and the potential of less traditional data sources such as roadkills to improve the knowledge of the herpetofauna of extensive and megadiverse countries like Brazil.
