Apostolepis sp.

(Fig. 26.3)

The single two specimens were recorded in Bahia State, municipality of Poções. The area is an isolated highland, with altitude up to 760 m elevation. We have no information about the specific habitat where this species can be found. We believe that it occurs in sandy soils as other species of the genus. As other congeneric species, it seems to be fossorial, diurnal and nocturnal, and feeds on elongated vertebrates.
