Fig. 14

Distribution.

Caatinga endemic lineage. It is recorded only in the state of Bahia. It shows restricted distribution in the Caatinga and occurs along one ecoregion (Table 1 ; Appendix S3). Distributed in medium elevation areas (407 m a.s.l.), with annual mean temperature 25°C, and average annual rainfall between 727 mm.

Ecological notes.

Fossorial and nocturnal ( Recoder et al. 2022). It inhabits patches of sandy soil in the Quaternary sand dunes of the São Francisco River ( Recoder et al. 2022). Calyptommatus sp. 1 "Lagoa do Fábio” was recovered as sister clade of C. confusionibus . Diet based mainly on arthropods, no information about the preferred items on the diet of this species is known. Oviparous, no detailed data is known about the number of eggs laid by the species, but it could be similar to other Calyptommatus species ( Rodrigues 1991a).
