Abstract

Amphisbaena mitchelli is a small-sized worm lizard species described from Ilha de Marajó, state of Pará, Brazil. After its description, few publications brought new distribution records for A. mitchelli, all in eastern Amazonia. In this paper we report a new record of the species in municipality of Imperatriz, state of Maranhão, Brazil. The new record is the first in the Cerrado ecoregion and is 300km northeast in straight line to the closest record in Floresta Nacional de Carajás, municipality of Parauapebas, state of Pará, Brazil, and fills a gap of 530 km.
