Ecology and natural history of a snake assemblage at Núcleo Santa Virgínia, Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar, southeastern Brazil. Biota Neotrop., 9(3): http:// www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v9n3/en/abstract?article+bn03609032009. Abstract:The objective of this study was to describe the natural history and the ecology of a snake assemblage in the Atlantic rainforest, at Núcleo Santa Virgínia, Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar, located on the northeastem of the state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. We describe richness, relative abundance, daily and seasonal activity, and substrate use, besides additional aspects of the natural history of the snakes. A total of 148 individuals, of 27 species, 19 genera and four families, were found within the area of the Núcleo Santa Virgínia. Species that were sampled more frequently were Bothrops jararaca, Xenodon neuwiedii and Liophis atraventer. Among the abiotic factors analyzed, minimum temperature, followed by mean temperature and rainfall are apparently the most important in determining snake abundance and/or activity. Most species presented a diet concentrated on one prey category or restricted to a few major food items. Frogs seem to be the most important food resource for snake assemblages in the Atlantic rainforest on the top of Serra do Mar. Our results indicate that the structure of the Núcleo Santa Virgínia snake assemblage reflects mainly the ecological characteristics of each of the lineages that compose the assemblage.

“…Up to now Mussurana montana was recorded to high elevation areas (750-1,550 m above sea level [a.s.l.]) of two mountain ranges of Paleocene origin (Almeida and Carneiro 1998) in southeastern Brazil: Serra da Mantiqueira and Serra do Mar (Franco et al 1997;Hartmann et al 2009 (Franco et al 1997). Within Serra do Mar, the species was recorded from dense ombrophilous forests of the Serra da Bocaina, in Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar (Hartmann et al 2009 …”

“…Currently, its conservation status is classified as "Near Threatened" at the national level (Martins 2005), and as "Vulnerable" and "Near Threatened" in the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais (Biodiversitas 2007;Marques et al 2009), where the species is known to occur (Franco et al 1997;Hartmann et al 2009). …”

“…Mussurana montana can be diagnosed by the presence of 19 dorsal scale rows at midbody, eight supralabials (fourth and fifth contacting the eye), eight infralabials, 201-218 ventrals, 46-57 paired subcaudals; juveniles red dorsally, with a dark brown longitudinal vertebral stripe, and a light nuchal collar, while adults become dark brown dorsally and cream colored ventrally (Franco et al 1997). Up to now Mussurana montana was recorded to high elevation areas (750-1,550 m above sea level [a.s.l.])…”

Mussurana montana is a poorly known dipsadid snake endemic to elevated areas in the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil. After the examination of specimens deposited in scientific collections, we update the distribution range of M. montana with five new locality records, including its first record from the state of Rio de Janeiro, and a new northernmost and easternmost record in the state of Minas Gerais. These new data reinforce the distribution of M. montana within the mountain ranges of Serra da Mantiqueira and Serra do Mar, from 750-1,610 m above sea level.
