“…These include D. nanus, D. muelleri, Leptodactylus fuscus (Schneider, 1799), H. raniceps and S. xsignatus (Frost 2016). Others such as C. greeningi, P. nordestina, Physalaemus albifrons (Spix, 1824), Physalaemus cicada Bokermann, 1966, Proceratophrys cristiceps (Müller, 1883, and R. granulosa are typically found in Caatinga but can also occur in adjacent biomes, such as Cerrado and Atlantic Forest (Arzabe 1999;Caramaschi 2006;Brandão et al 2013;Silva et al 2013;Silva et al 2014). Corythomantis greeningi, P. cicada, and P. albifrons had their distributions recently expanded for Rio Grande do Norte (Magalhães et al 2013;, but this is their first record inside a protected area in the state.…”

Abstract:We provide a list of lizards, snakes, chelonians, and amphibians collected during a 30-day expedition to the Seridó Ecological Station (ESEC Seridó), Rio Grande do Norte state, Brazil. We sampled species using thirty-seven pitfall trap stations composed of four buckets each, along with glue traps and active searches. We recorded 13 species of lizards, eight snakes, 19 amphibians, and one chelonian. Rarefaction curves suggest local biodiversity is still underestimated. Sampling during rainy season was crucial to stabilize rarefaction curve for amphibians. Comparisons of our results with data from literature show we did not capture some arboreal and semifossorial lizards known for the area. Seridó Ecological Station fauna is characterized mainly by generalist species common to lowland Caatinga sites. Still, several Caatinga endemics species are found, which underscore the importance of this small but representative protected area.
