Erythrolamprus reginae (Linnaeus, 1758) View in CoL “Cobra-verde”

(Figs. 15.3 and 27.3)

It was recorded in the states of Piauí, Ceará, Alagoas, and Sergipe, with most records in Ceará State. Most records are in highland forest areas (at least 600 m elevation), with occasional records in semi-arid and contact areas near the coast (under 500 m elevation). It also occurs in Atlantic Forest, Amazon Forest, Cerrado, and Pantanal ( Cunha & Nascimento 1978; Martins & Oliveira 1998; Marques et al. 2001, 2005; Nogueira et al. 2010). In the Cerrado region it is typical of forested, humid riparian areas (mostly gallery forest, see Nogueira et al. 2011). It has terrestrial habits, is diurnal, and feeds on frogs and lizards ( Marques et al. 2001, 2005).
