Reptilia, Squamata, Gymnophthalmidae, Arthrosaura reticulata (O’Shaughnessy, 1881): distribution extension and new state record

“…In Brazil, the species has been reported from the states of Maranhão, Pará, Amapá, Amazonas, and Rondônia (Vanzolini 1986 The number of notes about geographical extensions or even new state records of Squamata reptiles in the state of Mato Grosso has increased considerably during the last years (e.g. Costa et al 2008;Kawashita-Ribeiro and Ávila 2008;Mott et al 2008;Morais et al 2010;Silva et al 2010). It reinforces the need of biological surveys in many unexplored regions of this state.…”

Cryptic, Sympatric Diversity in Tegu Lizards of the Tupinambis teguixin Group (Squamata, Sauria, Teiidae) and the Description of Three New Species

“…palustris is apparently restricted to wetlands in the vicinity of the type locality at Usina Hidréletrica Três Irmãos, in the lower Tiete River, between Aracatuba and Pereira Barreto in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Tupinambis quadrilineatus is endemic to the savannas of central Brazil [ 13 , 14 , 15 ], however Langstroth [ 16 ] suggested it may also occur in Bolivia. These three species have all been described since 1995.…”

Description of the hemipenial morphology of Tupinambis quadrilineatus Manzani and Abe, 1997 (Squamata, Teiidae) and new records from Piauí, Brazil

“…The genus Tupinambis is found in Colombia, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, the Guyanas, the Amazon basin, and the savannas of Bolivia and Brazil ( Harvey et al 2012 ). Despite the conspicuous size of these lizards, zoogeographic data are sketchy, and new localities have been recorded recently for some species, such as Tupinambis longilineus ( Lima and Pimenta 2008 , Costa et al 2008 ) and Tupinambis quadrilineatus ( Ferreira et al 2009 , Silveira 2009 ).…”
