“…In our study, P. albifrons consumed three prey categories, being Formicidae the most frequent (45%) and important (42%) prey, corroborating the study of Cruz (2000) from São Francisco River sand dunes in the state of Bahia. Moreover, consumption of ants by P. cuvieri and P. albifrons (present study; M. Oliveira et al, 2015), P. cuvieri from Atlantic Forest (Santos et al, 2004;Leivas et al, 2018), P. ephippifer Steindachner, 1864, from the Eastern Amazon (Rodrigues & Santos-Costa, 2014), and P. albonotatus Steindachner, 1864 (Falico et al, 2012), and P. riograndensis Milstead, 1960(López et al, 2003, from Argentina, reinforces the importance of this prey category for this genus.…”
