Amphisbaena mertensii (Squamata: Amphisbaenidae): Notes on natural history, distribution, and morphology
Amphisbaena mertensii is a worm lizard species from South America. Because of its subterranean lifestyle,data on its biology are scarce. In this paper, we present the first record of A. mertensii as prey of a bird, the wood rail Aramides cajaneus. We also review the geographic range of this species, reporting it for 114 localities from west-central Brazil to northeastern Argentina. We update the range of precloacal pores in A. mertensii from 5–8 to 4–8, and report the largest individual of this species with a 458 mm snout-vent length.
期刊介绍:
La revista está orientada a publicar contribuciones originales escritas en español o inglés relacionadas con la documentación, comprensión y conservación de la diversidad biológica. La revista contempla el tema de la biodiversidad en un sentido amplio y por tanto incluye trabajos en áreas como botánica, zoología, ecología, biodiversidad, biogeografía, taxonomía, sistemática, conservación, y disciplinas afines.
