Fig. 13

Distribution.

Caatinga endemic species. 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). It occurs in high elevation areas (1,105 m a.s.l.), with annual mean temperature of 21°C, and average annual rainfall of 774 mm.

Ecological notes.

Arboreal and diurnal (Vanzolini et al. 1980; Lanna et al. 2018). It is restricted to semiarboreal/ bush vegetation in the Quaternary sand dunes of the São Francisco River ( Lanna et al. 2018). 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 Lygodactylus species ( Vitt 1992, 1995).
