Abstract

PELAEZ PLAZAS, Sergio Alejandro  and  PERLAZA BERRIO, Lilia Alejandra. Range extension of Micrurus camilae (Serpentes: Elapidae) in the Colombian Caribbean. Biota colombiana [online]. 2020, vol.21, n.1, pp.104-108. ISSN 0124-5376.  https://doi.org/10.21068/c2020.v21n01a07.

We present the first record of the snake Micrurus camilae for the department of Sucre, Colombia, extending its known distribution area and contributing with data about its habitat. The specimen was found in a tropical dry forest patch, in contrast with previous records, in which M. camilae was located in tropical rainforests.

Keywords : Distributional Range; Elapidae; Proteroglyphous; Tropical dry forest; Tropical rainforest.
