Pseustes sulphureus (Wagler, 1824) “Papa-pinto, Papa-ova”

(Figs. 12.6 and 25.4)

There are two records for this species in the Caatinga in state of Ceará, municipalities of Pacotí and Fortaleza. These areas have 736 m and 21 m of elevation, respectively. It also occurs in Atlantic Forest, Amazon, Cerrado, and Pantanal (Cunha & Nascimento 1978; Strüssmann & Sazima 1993; Martins & Oliveira 1998; Marques et al. 2001; Argôlo 2004; Marques et al. 2005; Marques et al. 2005; Nogueira et al. 2010; Zaher et al. 2011). It inhabits relictual moist forests in highlands (Borges-Nojosa et al. 2006; Loebmann & Haddad, 2010) and probably bushy and arboreal caatinga in semi-arid areas near the coast, along the Atlantic Forest contact. Freitas and Silva (2007) report this species to forested areas (floresta estacional) in Diamantina Plateau, Bahia State, but the vouchers for these records could not be found during our data collection. It has semi-arboreal habits, is diurnal, and feeds on vertebrates (Marques et al. 2001).
