Phyllopezus lutzae (Loveridge, 1941) (Squamata, Phyllodactylidae): new records from the Brazilian state of Paraíba

Abstract

Phyllopezus lutzae (Loveridge, 1941) is a bromelicolous lizard species that inhabits the Atlantic Forest in northeastern Brazil. In this work we report the first records of this species for Paraíba state, Brazil. The records extend the distribution of the species 47 km north, helping to fill a gap in its distribution in northeastern Brazil
