shrubs (Fig. 1). in the study area, this habi - tat type represents the transition of Dry to Humid chaco. More to the west, the habi - tats along the roads are barren grounds with - out vegetation. it is important to note, that in the near forest (1.3 km from the T. suqui - ensis records) T. teyou is found. the previous known T. suquiensis lo - ' calities, which are closest to the new record were villa Minetti and Estancia El Nochero in the Province of Santa Fé ( cAcciAli et al. 2016), at distances of 31 and 43 km, respec - tively (Fig. 2). this species was initially described from the Province of córdoba ( AvilA & MArtori 1991); later the known distribu - tion was extended considerably to the Pro - vince of Santa Fé ( AvilA 1995). A record of T. suquiensis , 100 km north to previous known localities in córdoba is an indication for an expansion of its range ( cABrErA & MoNguillot 2007). Teius suquiensis seems to tolerate environmental modifications, be - ing present in disturbed habitats and along roads ( AvilA & M Artori 1991). it is cur - rently not possible to determine if the new record represents a recent expansion of the species’ range, or an established occurrence Fig. 2: Map showing the location of the new record that was unknown simply due to lack of of Teius suquiensis AvilA & M Artori , 1991 (white square), and the closest previous records (white dots) information. in the Province of Santa Fé, Argentina.
