Lioheterophis iheringi Amaral, 1934
(Fig. 28.4)
Caatinga endemic species. It is known only for the type-locality in Paraíba State, municipality of Campina Grande. This area is situated on the Borborema Plateau, 560 m elevation, with strong influence of the adjacent Atlantic Forest. It is known only by one specimen (lost holotype, TBG pers. obs.) collected in 1934 ( Amaral 1934). Therefore it appears to be extremely rare. Apparently inhabits forested areas because the single locality situated in agreste, near coastal Atlantic Forest, is wetter than the adjacent semi-arid lowlands. Information about natural history of this species is not available.
