Abstract

We record a new prey species for Oxybelis microphthalmus, based on an adult specimen preying on an adult male of Aspidoscelis guttatus lizard. Although three species of lizards in the genus Aspidoscelis have been reported as prey for O. microphthalmus, we did not find any information related to the predation of this lizard species. Therefore, our observation represents the first documented record of interactions between O. microphthalmus and A. guttatus in a human-modified environment.
