(Figs. 18.3 and 31.1)
Recorded in sparse localities in the states of Piauí and Bahia, including the São Francisco River dunes, and Cerrado-Caatinga contact areas. All records are in low altitudes (less than 500 m elevation). It is also recorded in the northeastern portion of the Cerrado region ( Nogueira et al. 2010, 2011), close to the Caatinga, mostly in areas covered by sparse savannas on sandy soils ( Recoder et al. 2011), similar to sandy areas inside the Caatinga. It has fossorial and psammophylous habits, is diurnal and nocturnal, and feeds on lizards ( Rodrigues 1993).
