Type locality.
Toca da Cabocla, municipality of Caracol, Parque Nacional da Serra das Confusões, state of Piauí, Brazil.
Distribution.
Caatinga endemic species. It is recorded only in the state of Piauí. It shows restricted distribution in the Caatinga and occurs along one ecoregion (Table 1 View Table 1 ; Appendix S3). Distributed in medium elevation areas (310-596 m a.s.l.), with annual mean temperature 25 to 26°C, and average annual rainfall between 827 and 940 mm.
Ecological notes.
Terrestrial and diurnal. It is seen foraging among tufts of Caatinga on white sand soils. Eventually found crossing rocky areas ( Arias et al. 2011a, 2011b). 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 Ameivula ( Mesquita and Colli 2003; Sales and Freire 2016).
