摘要：New World's largest terrestrial lizards, the tegus
(Tupinambis) currently consists of seven species
restricted to South America, east of the Andes
(Ávila-Pires 1995; Colli et al. 1998; Péres and
Colli 2004). Tupinambis longilineus Ávila-Pires,
1995 is the smallest (202 mm maximum SVL),
and the poorest known species of the genus, with
only three localities of occurrence published in the
literature (Ávila-Pires 1995; Fitzgerald et al.
1999; Lima and Pimenta 2008). Here we report a
new state record for T. longilineus, improving on
the knowledge of its geographic distribution. On
15 August 2007, a new specimen (male, 230 mm
SVL; Figure 1) was captured in a Tomahawk® trap
(collection permits: 029/2006-COFAN and
50/2007-SUPES/MT, process # 02001.003069/
2004-42), at Fazenda Maracatiá, an area covered
with open submontane tropical rainforest, on the
left bank of the Aripuanã River, in the
municipality of Aripuanã, state of Mato Grosso,
Brazil (10°09'34" S, 59°28'4.50" W). The specimen
is housed in the herpetological collection at
Museu de Zoologia "João Moojen", Universidade
Federal de Viçosa, in Viçosa, Minas Gerais,
Brazil, with register MZUFV-564. This is the
largest reported specimen of Tupinambis
longilineus and the first record of this species for
the state of Mato Grosso (Figure 2).
