“…THE COMPOSITION of the diverse colubrid genus Tantilla, distributed from North to South America, has changed considerably in the last 30 yr. The changes include descriptions of several new species, change of one subspecies to species level, species reductions to synonymy, species resurrections, and one generic reallocation (e.g., Dixon et al, 2000;Smith et al, 1993;Wilson, 1982Wilson, , 1987. Wilson (1999) has provided an updated checklist, a key to the species, and information on the distribution of Tantilla.…”

We describe a new species of Tantilla (Serpentes: Colubridae) from the highlands (''campos rupestres'') of the Serra do Cipó , Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. The new species belongs in the T. melanocephala group and is characterized by its uniform reddish orange dorsum with no dark middorsal stripe, a broad pale nuchal band medially divided, and a dark head cap without posterior lateral extensions. Color photographs of adult individuals and illustration of hemipenes of both the new species and T. melanocephala from the Cerrado formation south of the Amazon are provided and comparisons with congeners are made.

Chihuahua is Mexico’s largest state, and its physiographic complexity affects the distribution of its herpetofauna. We list amphibians and reptiles for the state of Chihuahua, with their conservation status. We also compare this list to those of six adjoining states in the United States and Mexico (New Mexico, Texas, Coahuila, Durango, Sinaloa, and Sonora). A total of 175 species of amphibians and reptiles is found in Chihuahua. Thirty-eight are amphibians, and 137 reptiles. Chihuahuan amphibians and reptiles represent just over 37% of such species from Chihuahua and neighboring states. Chihuahua shares the highest proportion of its herpetofauna with Sonora and Durango. Most of the herpetofauna of Chihuahua falls in IUCNs least concern category and is not listed by SEMARNAT. However, turtles in Chihuahua are a group of particular conservation concern.
