Abstract

Lithodytes lineatus is widely distributed in the Amazon and currently found in the Cerrado domain. We document two new records of the species in the transition zone of Amazon-Cerrado located in the state of Tocantins, Brazil. These records extend the geographic distribution of this species and help to fill information gaps in the state of Tocantins, Brazil.
