“…Marques et al (2011) reported the species from Imbassaí, captured in a restinga dry forest (SVL = 1970 mm). Inhabits primary forest, ombrophilous forest, relict wet forest and cabruca, foraging more on vegetation than on the ground (Martins and Oliveira 1998, Argôlo 2004, Lisboa et al 2009, Loebmann and Haddad 2010). The species is arboreal and diurnal, feeding on birds and rodents (Beebe 1946, Marques et al 2001).…”

Information about the snake diversity and their natural history from the Atlantic forest domain in Brazil refer mostly to inland forests than to coastal region. Within the state of Bahia, this knowledge is concentrated to the southeastern coastal stretch. Herein we report on the diversity of snakes from the restinga, ombrophilous forest and anthropogenic environment from the northern Atlantic coast of Bahia. We sampled nine sites for three years and visited four museum collections. Furthermore, we provide anecdotal natural history information, voucher analyses, literature complements, and a key to fascilitate species identification. We report a total of 774 snakes belonging to 50 species and 23 new distribution records for northeastern coast of Bahia, supplemented by new data on feeding and reproduction. The number of detected species is similar to numbers obtained in comparable studies from other Brazilian ecoregions. This study reports and focuses for the first time on all known species of snakes from the northeastern coast of Bahia.

“…The specimen has been deposited at the Centro de Ecologia e Conservação Animal reference herpetological collection (CHECOA 002468). The second is the colubrid Pseustes sulphureus recorded in the Amazonian region and in the Atlantic rainforest from Ceará to Alagoas states and then from southeastern Bahia to São Paulo State (Campbell & Lamar 1989;Argôlo 2004;Borges-Nojosa et al 2006;Grazziotin 2006;Lisboa et al 2009;Brazil 2010). The present paper fills in some of the distributional gaps for these taxa.…”

Abstract:Restinga is a coastal ecosystem covering almost the entire Brazilian coast line and it is associated with the Atlantic Forest biome and therefore is a complementary component of the landscape. Its vegetation is highly variable and specialized, being influenced by salt, and with low fertility and moist soil. This environmental landscape promotes the colonization of species from contiguous biomes and ecosystems, thereby promoting high diversity, especially on the northern coast of Bahia. The study was conducted at the Reserva Imbassaí, in the municipality of Mata de São João, northern coast of Bahia, Brazil. We conducted six surveys distributed over one year, with samples every two months; we used the sampling techniques of active visual search, random encounters and pitfall traps along a linear transect. Fourty-nine snakes from 15 species distributed among five families were recorded: Boidae (2), Colubridae (3), Dipsadidae (6), Elapidae (1) and Viperidae (3). Ten of the species of snakes found at Reserva Imbassaí complement the literature overall snakes' list from the north coast of Bahia's restinga. The results show that Reserva Imbassaí is uniquely rich in snakes and therefore represents an important contribution to the knowledge of this taxon within the Atlantic forest hotspot.Keywords: Atlantic forest, boids, colubrids, dipsadids, elapids, northeastern Brazil, squamata, viperids. 2184Portuguese Abstract: A restinga é um ecossistema costeiro, cobrindo grande parte da costa brasileira e é associado ao bioma da Mata Atlântica, agindo como componente complementar da paisagem. Sua vegetação é bastante variada e especializada, influenciada pela salinidade marinha e pela baixa fertilidade e umidade do solo. Estes componentes da paisagem contribuem para a colonização de espécies de outros biomas e ecossistemas próximos, tornando-o assim bastante diverso, principalmente no litoral norte da Bahia. Este estudo foi realizado na Reserva Imbassaí, localizado no município de Mata de São João, litoral norte da Bahia, Brasil. Realizamos seis coletas durante um ano a cada dois meses; utilizamos a procura visual ativa, armadilhas de interceptação e queda e encontros ocasionais em um transecto linear. Foram registradas 49 serpentes de 15 espécies das cinco famílias: Boidae (2), Colubridae (3), Dipsadidae (6), Elapidae (1) e Viperidae (3). Dez destas espécies de serpentes encontradas na Reserva Imbassaí complementam a lista de espécies deste grupo para a restinga do litoral norte da Bahia. Os resultados evidenciam que a Reserva Imbassaí possui uma riqueza única de serpentes e representa uma importante contribuição para o conhecimento deste táxon no hotspot da Mata Atlântica.

“…This paper presents the first record of this species from the state of Sergipe (Figure 3). The new location is 125 km south of the nearest locality at Pindoba Farm, municipality of Campo Alegre, Alagoas (Lisboa et al 2009), and 160 km north of the nearest locality in Bahia (IBSP 49248). The location is 3242 km from the type locality on the Japurá River, Amazonas (Cunha et al 1985).…”

Abstract:We present the first record of Spilotes sulphureus for the state of Sergipe. In Brazil, this species is distributed Amazon Rainforest, Atlantic Forest and Caatinga biomes. This large-bodied snake has arboreal habit, is diurnal, has oviparous reproduction, feeds on birds, eggs, lizards, bats, amphibians and small mammals and presents the defensive behaviour of lateral compression of the body.
