Fig. 14 View Figure 14
Distribution.
Caatinga endemic lineage. It is recorded only in the state of Bahia. It shows restricted distribution in the Caatinga and occurs along one ecoregion (Table 1 View Table 1 ; Appendix S3). Distributed in low to medium elevation areas (462 m a.s.l.), with annual mean temperature 25°C, and average annual rainfall between 901 mm.
Ecological notes.
Fossorial and nocturnal ( Recoder et al. 2022). It inhabits patches of sandy soil in the Quaternary sand dunes of the São Francisco River ( Recoder et al. 2022).
Calyptommatus sp. 2 “Barra” were retrieved nested within C. leiolepis with strong support for the external node, but with weak support for internal relationships among clades. Both have a narrow parapatric distribution on the Xique-Xique dune field ( Recoder et al. 2022).
Diet based mainly on arthropods, no information about the preferred items on the diet of this species is known. Oviparous, no detailed data is known about the number of eggs laid by the species, but it could be similar to other Calyptommatus species ( Rodrigues 1991a).
