Atractus potschi is a small Brazilian endemic snake. Its distribution is restricted to Brazil's Northeastern Atlantic Rain Forest and Caatinga biomes, in the States of Alagoas, Bahia, and Sergipe. Herein, we expanded its distribution in hinterlands by 270 km from the nearest previous record. This is also a new occurrence on the left bank of the São Francisco River.

Keywords : Atlantic Rain Forest; Caatinga; São Francisco River; Snakes.
