Description
Atractus ronnie Passos, Fernandes and Borges-Nojosa, 2007
(Figs. 14.2 and 26.4)
Caatinga endemic species. Recorded only to Ceará State in Baturité and Ibiapaba-Araripe ranges. These localities are situated in isolated plateaus above 600 m elevation. The available records indicate that it inhabits moist, relictual slope forest in Caatinga (Passos et al. 2007; Loebmann et al. 2009; Passos et al. 2010; Loebmann & Haddad 2010). It has cryptozoic and fossorial habits, is diurnal and nocturnal, and feeds mostly on earthworms (Passos et al. 2010).
