Micrurus lemniscatus is widely distributed in South America, and in Brazil is known from the Amazonian Forest, Cerrado, and Babassu Palm Forest biomes. Herein, we provide the first record of this species for the state of Piauí in northeastern Brazil and the first record from a Cerrado/Caatinga transition zone. We also present an updated distribution map for M. lemniscatus.
Micrurus lemniscatus se encuentra ampliamente distribuida en América del Sur, siendo registrada en Brasil en la Selva Amazónica, Cerrado y palmares de Babasu. Aquí proporcionamos el primer registro de esta especie para el estado de Piauí en el noreste de Brasil, y el primer registro de la especie de una zona de transición entre Cerrado/Caatinga. También presentamos un mapa de distribución actualizado de M. lemniscatus.
