- Abstract
During wildlife rescue and monitoring activities, we recorded 142 individuals of Phyllopezus lutzae in the municipalities of Tucano and Nova Soure, state of Bahia, Northeastern Brazil. These records are the first of this species in the Caatinga domain. Moreover, an adult individual of Tropidurus hispidus was recorded attempting to subdue an adult P. lutzae. Beyond to expand the known distribution range of the species, our records show that P. lutzae inhabits an ecological and climate domain different from Atlantic Forest where it was previously known, and that it is a potential prey of T. hispidus.
