Philodryas patagoniensis Girard 1858
Description
Philodryas patagoniensis (Girard, 1858) “Corre-campo, corredeira”
(Figs. 17.6 and 29.4)
Recorded in the states of Rio Grande do Norte, Sergipe, Bahia, and North Minas Gerais. It inhabits low altitude areas, between sea level to 500 m elevation. It is a widely distributed species that occurs in Atlantic Forest, Cerrado, Pampas, and Pantanal regions (Marques et al. 2001, 2005; Bérnils et al. 2008; Nogueira et al. 2010), often in open, grassy habitats. The records of this species in Caatinga are sparse, probably related to herbaceous and grassy vegetation. The species has terrestrial habits, is diurnal, and feeds on vertebrates (Marques et al. 2001, 2005).
