Resumo

The fossorial snake Apostolepis intermedia is an Elapomorphini species currently known by two specimens from Brazil. In this study, we report the first records of the species in Paraguay, based on two female specimens from the Reserva Natural Laguna Blanca, Departamento San Pedro, Paraguay. These records occurred 376 km south from the previously southernmost record, in Anastácio, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. We also provide data on the species morphological variation.
