The collection site is located in a mountain forest enclave belonging to the Caatinga domain. This record extends the species distribution towards central region of the state.

Leiosaurid lizards of the genus Enyalius comprise nine September 2009, we collected one juvenile and one adult recognized species (Rodrigues et al. 2006), restricted to E. bibronii in a forest enclave inside the Caatinga biome, in forested areas in Atlantic Rainforest remnants of eastern the municipality of Tenente Laurentino Cruz (06°10’80” S, Brazil, the Brazilian Amazon rainforest (Jackson 1978; 36°43’38” W, 751 m asl). Additionally, 14 specimens were Ávila-Pires 1995), patches of savanna and gallery forests collected from October 2009 to April 2010 (Figure 2), six of the Cerrado in Central Brazil, and in scattered patches at another location (06°05’94” S, 36°42’94” W, 710 m a.s.l.) of the semiarid Caatingas (Rodrigues et al. 2006). In general, Enyalius are diurnal and insectivorous lizards that 2869, 2870, 2926-2929, 3208-3210, 3301-3303, and 3577- use tree trunks, shrubs, fallen logs or leaves as perches, 3580)within arethe deposited same municipality. at the Herpetological Voucher specimens Collection (CHBEZ of the but are also commonly found on the ground or leaf litter (Jackson 1978; Sazima and Haddad 1992; Vitt et al. 1996; Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, in Natal, Rio Grande do Zamprogno et al. 2001; Teixeira et al. 2005).

This extends the known geographical distribution of E. Based on records available in the literature, the bibronii ca. 170 km west from the nearest record in the current distribution of E. bibronii is in northeastern Brazil, state, in the municipality of Natal (05°47’25” S, 35°11’59” with records for the states of Minas Gerais (Jackson 1978), W) (Freire 1996), ca. 135 km north from the nearest record Bahia (Bertolotto et al. 2002; Rodrigues et al. 2006; Freitas and Silva 2007), Pernambuco (Jackson 1978; Rodrigues et al. 2006), Paraíba (Rodrigues et al. 2006; Freire et al. 2009), etin the al. 2009),state of and Paraíba, ca. 320 in the km municipalities northeast from of São the José nearest dos Rio Grande do Norte (Freire 1996), Ceará (Borges-Nojosa recordCordeiros in the and state Sumé of (07°28’15”Ceará, in the S, 36°52’51”municipality W) of (Freire Crato and Caramaschi 2003; Rodrigues et al. 2006; Loebmann & (07°10’ - 07°50’ S, 39°00’ - 39°50’ W) (Borges-Nojosa Haddad 2010), and Piauí (Rodrigues et al. 2006) (Figure and Caramaschi 2003).
