The lack of information on the occurrence of species in a region limits the understanding of the composition and structure of the local community and, consequently, restricts the proposition of effective measures for species conservation. In this study, we researched the reptiles in the Duas Bocas Biological Reserve (DBBR), Espírito Santo, southeastern Brazil. We analyzed the parameters of the local community, such as richness, composition, and abundance of species. We conducted samplings from August 2017 to January 2019, through active search. We performed the samplings in nine standard plots of 250 meters in length. All individuals located in the plots or occasionally on the trails were registered. To evaluate sample effort to characterize the reptile community, we performed an accumulation curve of species, and to update the DBBR reptile list, we used as secondary data specimens deposited in collections and previously published studies. Considering primary and secondary data, we recorded 38 species, one chelonia, 13 lizards, and 24 snakes. Our study showed a richness of 15 additional species to the previous list of reptiles, increasing by about 40% the known richness to the area. We concluded that the DBBR holds a high richness of reptile species, representing 12% of the richness of reptiles of the Atlantic Forest and with a considerable number of endemic species in this biome. This suggests that the DBBR is an important forest fragment constituting a reservoir of the biodiversity of the reptiles of the Atlantic Forest.

A New Species

We describe a new species of dull-colored flea-toad, genus Brachycephalus, from the Atlantic Forest of Caparaó mountains in southeastern Brazil. The new species is characterized by its diminutive size, “leptodactyliform” body, brownish color with an inverted V-shaped dark mark on dorsum, skin smooth, hyperossification and dorsal shield absent, linea masculinea absent, Fingers I and IV vestigial, Toe I externally absent, Toe II reduced but functional, Toes III and IV with pointed tips, Toe V vestigial, and ventral color uniformly brown. It is a leaf litter dweller, known only from type locality in the humid forests on the eastern slopes of Parque Nacional do Caparaó mountains, a protected area in the states of Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. It is the third flea-toad occurring in the state of Espírito Santo recovered as sister to all other Brachycephalus distributed from the state of São Paulo northward in the Atlantic Forest.

ABSTRACT While studying Croton material collected in Espírito Santo, we found several specimens of Croton sapiifolius, a species previously restricted to the State of Bahia. The present paper updates our knowledge about the taxonomy, habitat and geographic distribution of C. sapiifolius. This finding increases the number of known Croton species occurring in Espírito Santo State to 20 and contributes to the knowledge of Croton of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.

A New Species

The Atlantic Forest is one of two biodiversity hotspots in Brazil (Mittermeier et al. 1997, Myers et al. 2000). It is the second most diverse (Forzza et al. 2010) and threatened biome because only ca. 11.7% of the Atlantic Forest remains (Ribeiro et al. 2009). Annonaceae are well represented in the Atlantic forest with 92 species, of which 71 are endemic (Maas et al. 2015). In the State of Espírito Santo, there are 12 genera and 44 species (Maas et al. 2015). The majority of genera in Annonaceae that occur in Brazil are represented in Espírito Santo, but previously there were no records of Trigynaea Schlechtendal (1834: 328) for the State.

The genus Zachaenus Cope is the least specious within Cycloramphidae, including two species: Z. carvalhoi Izecksohn, and Z. parvulus (Girard). Both are leaf litter species distributed across Atlantic forest remnants in Southeastern Brazil. Zachaenus carvalhoi occurs westerly in the states of Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais, and Z. parvulus easterly in the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Espírito Santo (Verdade et al. 2009; Motta et al. 2010; Salles & Maciel 2010; Oliveira et al. 2012; Guedes et al. 2019; Frost 2019). Both species build terrestrial nests, and larval development is endotrophic nidicolous (reproductive mode 21 after Haddad & Prado 2005; Lutz 1944; Thibaudeau & Altig 1999; Zocca et al. 2014). In this work, we describe the tadpoles of Z. carvalhoi, and discuss morphological aspects regarding other endotrophic tadpoles.

Studies about diet of birds in Atlantic Forest are scarce. In this study, we characterized the diet of Passeriformes from the south coast of Espírito Santo State, Brazil, classifying them into trophic guilds. From 26 species a total of 94 samples were obtained by regurgitation using tartar emetic method. The 855 items found were separated into two different categories: Insects (includes other terrestrial arthropods, such as spiders and opiliones) and Fruits/Seeds. The most frequent food item was Coleopterans, and the most abundant was Hymenoptera.

O objetivo do trabalho foi analisar a distribuição diamétrica de um fragmento de Floresta Atlântica localizado na Reserva Biológica Sítio Palmares, Espírito Santo. Em 2.400 m2, foram medidas todas as árvores e palmeiras com DAP igual ou superior a 5 cm. Foram encontrados 1.364 indivíduos extrapolados para hectare, distribuídos em 70 espécies e 33 famílias. O total da população observada apresentou um DAP médio de 14,82 cm e área basal de 41,12 m2.ha-1. Para o total da população observada, foram formadas 13 classes diamétricas, com intervalo de5 cm entre as classes. O ajuste da equação de Meyer mostrou para essa população a tendência da curva do J-invertido. As três primeiras classes diamétricas, de5 a20 cm, concentraram 79% da densidade populacional. Oito espécies apresentaram uma densidade populacional com mais de 40 indivíduos por hectare. Esses indivíduos ficaram concentrados até a classe diamétrica de 40 cm. A análise estatística mostrou que as curvas de tendências da distribuição diamétrica dessas espécies ficaram distribuídas entre a normal, a exponencial negativa e a bimodal. AbstractDiameter distribution of an Atlantic Forest fragment at Santa Maria de Jetibá county, ES. This research aims to analyse the diametric distribution of an Atlantic Forest fragment at Reserva Biológica Sítio Palmares, state of Espírito Santo. In 2,400 m2 all trees and palms with DBH over 5 cm were measured. It identified 1364 individuals distributed into 70 species and 33 families. The community population had a DBH average of 14.82 cm and a basal area of 41.12 m2.ha-1. For the total population, the DBH distribution into 5 cm intervals formed 13 classes. The adjusted Meyer’s equation reveals for this population a tendency to a J-inverse curve. The first three diameter classes from 5 to20 cm concentrated 79% of the total population. Eight species had a population density with more than 40 trees per hectare. These trees were concentrated until the 40 cm distribution classes. The statistical analysis of the distributions curves reveals that these populations were distributed between the normal, j-inverse and bi-modal curves.Keywords: Floristic survey; diametric classes; forest mensuration.
