The lizard Enyalius capetinga is the most recently described species of the genus and is endemic to the Cerrado biome of central Brazil. Here we present a new record for this species from the Municipality of Estrela do Sul, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This finding fills a 110-km gap in the distribution of the species and is just the eighth reported locality for the sp ecies range-wide.
