Embora a dieta do acaua (Herpetotheres cachinnans) seja bem conhecida, constituindo-se principalmentede serpentes, sao escassos os registros detalhados de predacao desta ave de rapina sobre ofidios devidamenteidentificados. Esta comunicacao relata uma observacao no momento em que um individuo de H. cachinnans atacauma serpente boipeva (Xenodon merremii) em area de pastagem na Mata Atlântica do sudeste do Brasil. Concluimosque em ambientes abertos, X. merremii deve ser uma presa potencial de H. cachinnans.

The 'Zona da Mata' of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil, has less than 10% of remaining native vegetation and is home of a rich herpetofauna, still poorly surveyed. We present the results of an assessment of lizard and amphisbaenian species at Atlantic Forest fragments in the municipality of Cataguases, state of Minas Gerais, from 2009 to 2013. We used pitfall traps, occasional encounters, and local collectors, besides a literature review of records from Cataguases and neighboring cities. A total ...

Amphisbaena mertensii is a worm lizard species from South America. Because of its subterranean lifestyle,data on its biology are scarce. In this paper, we present the first record of A. mertensii as prey of a bird, the wood rail Aramides cajaneus. We also review the geographic range of this species, reporting it for 114 localities from west-central Brazil to northeastern Argentina. We update the range of precloacal pores in A. mertensii from 5–8 to 4–8, and report the largest individual of this ...

Ranacephala hogei is a South American freshwater turtle considered one of the 25 most endangered chelonian species in the world. Endemic to the Atlantic Forest hotspot of southeastern Brazil, the conservation status of R. hogei is subject to continuous assessment at various levels. However, the scarcity of data regarding this species, particularly its geographic range, challenges these evaluations. In an effort to address these gaps, we conducted a comprehensive long-term inventory using different ...
