Abstract
Herein we present new distribution records of Blastoceurs dichotomus in the State of Minas Gerais. Previously, this species had only been recorded inside the Grande Sertao Veredas National Park, in the state of Minas Gerais. Our new record is 110 km southeast of Grande Sertao Veredas NP. Given its “Vulnerable” IUCN status and this new record, it is important to reinforce the need for new surveys and ecological studies that assess its current geographic distribution, and ecological responses to habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation; factors considered main threats to these animals. Doing so will allow for more informed conservation priorities to be determined.
