RANGE EXTENSION OF THE BRAZILIAN DWARF BOA Tropidophis paucisquamis (MÜLLER, 1901) (SERPENTES, TROPIDOPHIIDAE) AND FIRST RECORD IN THE STATE OF MINAS GERAIS, BRAZIL

Tropidophis paucisquamis is a rare small-sized snake, endemic to the Atlantic Forest and strongly associated with coastal mountain ranges with elevations above 500 m. In this work, we provide the first record of this species to the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, being the most continental record for the species and extending its distribution approximately 180 km from the closest known localities and 465 km from its type locality. This finding fills a distribution gap between the states of Rio de Janeiro and Espirito Santo, Brazil, and expands our understanding about T. paucisquamis geographic distribution.
