ABSTRACT. Reptiles of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Data is presented on richness and composition of reptiles from the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), based on reviews of publications, examination of scientifi c collections and unpublished fi eld data provided by researchers. We recorded 188 species distributed in eight species of Testudines, three Crocodylia and 177 Squamata (16 amphisbaenians, 48 lizards and 113 snakes). Thirteen species have restricted distributions within the state, 13 are restricted to the state and nine are in the process of being described. The diversity of the MS reptiles, even if underestimated, accounts for 25% of the species known to occur in Brazil. The plateau presents 176 species, of which 30% are restricted to this location, while 131 species (6% exclusive) occur in the fl oodplain. The Cerrado is the richest domain in species, although it is the region with the highest sampling gap in the state. The most well-known section is the Midwest MS, which includes the Pantanal. About 40% of the species of reptiles of MS are widely distributed, occurring in at least fi ve of the seven Brazilian domains. The reptiles of MS are more similar to those of the Chaco, probably because the chacoan fauna is very similar to that of the Pantanal, which includes better inventoried portions of MS. Although the Cerrado is the predominant domain in the state, the fact of being poorly sampled justifi es the lower similarity of reptiles from this domain with those of MS, when compared with those of Chaco. Overall, the MS reptile fauna shows greater similarity to that found along the diagonal of open formations of South America. Only 18% of species were assessed by IUCN, which reinforces the need for an assessment of the conservation status of MS reptile species. The north, south and east of the state have not being adequately sampled, which is of concern since these sections have seen signifi cant anthropogenic alteration. For this reason, these areas, especially the north -including the headwaters of rivers which supply the fl oodplain -are indicated as priorities for the completion of inventories of reptiles and creation of areas to protect them.KEYWORDS.

A compilação de dados foi baseada em publicações, coleções científi cas e dados disponibilizados por pesquisadores.

Treze espécies, dentro do estado, possuem distribuição restrita, 13 não são encontradas em outros estados brasileiros e nove estão em processo de descrição. A riqueza de répteis do MS, mesmo que subestimada, corresponde a 25% das espécies conhecidas no Brasil. No planalto estão presentes 176 espécies, das quais 30% foram registradas somente neste local, enquanto que na planície de inundação ocorr...

“…One of us (LM) observed morphological characters of species and took all measurements using a caliper with a precision of 0.1 mm. We referred to the literature for patterns of scalation and coloration of the following taxa: Cercosaura anordosquama, C. ocellata, C. bassleri and C. olivacea [13]; Cercosaura argulus, C. eigenmanni, and C. oshaughnessyi [47]; C. hypnoides [17]; C. quadrilineata, C. schreibersii, and C. phelpsorum [18]; C. doanae [16]; C. manicata [30]; C. nigroventris [48]; C. parkeri [49]; and C. steyeri [50]. We also examined specimens of Cercosaura deposited in the CORBIDI, MUBI, and MUSA collections (Appendix A).…”

A New Species of Andean Gymnophthalmid Lizard (Squamata: Gymnophthalmidae) from the Peruvian Andes, and Resolution of Some Taxonomic Problems

The family Gymnophthalmidae is one of the most speciose lineages of lizards in the Neotropical region. Despite recent phylogenetic studies, the species diversity of this family is unknown and thus, its phylogenetic relationships remain unclear and its taxonomy unstable. We analyzed four mitochondrial (12S, 16S, Cytb, ND4) and one nuclear (c-mos) DNA sequences of Pholidobolus anomalus, Cercosaura manicata boliviana and Cercosaura sp., using the maximum likelihood method to give insights into the phylogenetic relationships of these taxa within Cercosaurinae. Our results suggest that Pholidolus anomalus is nested within the clade of Cercosaura spp., that material we collected near Oxapampa belongs to a new species of Cercosaura, and that lizards identified as Cercosaura manicata boliviana belong to a separate lineage, possibly a new genus. We assign Pholidobolus anomalus to Cercosaura, redescribe the species, and designate a neotype to replace the lost holotype. In addition, we describe the new species of Cercosaura, and comment about the taxonomic status of “Cercosaura manicata boliviana”incertae sedis.

Although the distribution of most of the taxa of the genus is restricted to the Amazon rainforest (11 species; Barreto et al 2012, Cusi & Doan 2014, Sturaro et al 2017, others have a wider distribution, occurring in different South American ecoregions (e.g. Cerrado, Atlantic Forest, Pantanal and Pampas; Doan & Lamar 2012, Sturaro et al 2018.…”

DISTRIBUTION EXTENSION AND NEW RECORDS FOR Cercosaura olivacea (GRAY, 1845) (SQUAMATA: GYMNOPHTHALMIDAE) IN NORTHEASTERN BRAZIL

et al. 2021

Here we add a new state record for Cercosaura olivacea in northeastern Brazil and new areas of occurrence in the state of Pernambuco and Sergipe, including the first record of this species in the Caatinga ecoregion. The new records fill a gap of more than 600 km in the distribution of this species on the east coast of Brazil and expand the geographical distribution of the species by 280 km north and 180 km south of the nearest recorded areas of occurrence.

New locality records, geographical distribution, and morphological variation in Cercosaura parkeri (Ruibal, 1952) (Squamata: Gymnophthalmidae) from western Brazil

Abstract: The presence of the gymnophthalmid lizard Cercosaura parkeri (Ruibal, 1952) in western Brazil is confirmed, based on vouchered records for localities in the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul. Morphological variation in a series of 20 males and 17 females is also presented.
