Trilepida macrolepis ( Peters, 1857) : Figure 14D Stenostoma macrolepis Peters 1857: 402 .

Trilepida macrolepis — Hedges 2011: 63 [by implication].

Material examined. Table 2.

This is a very small species that may be differentiated from other snakes by having body scales of the same size (without enlarged ventral), arranged in 14 rows around de body ( Köhler 2008). It has 4 supralabial scales and 10 scale rows around the middle of the tail. Individuals are dark brown dorsally and lighter ventrally, with whitish scale borders ( Pinto et al. 2010). Epictia goudotii , a species potentially sympatric with Trilepida macrolepis , has 2 supralabials, a darker color pattern with stripes, and a yellow rostral scale ( Pinto et al. 2010).

Bothrops asper ( Garman, 1883) : Figure 14E Trigonocephalus asper Garman 1883: 124 .

Kinosternon leucostomum (Duméril, Bibron & Duméril, 1851) : Figure 14G

Cinosternon leucostomum Duméril et al. 1851: 17 .

Cinosternon postinguinale Cope 1887: 23 .

Material examined. Table 2.

This small freshwater cryptodiran turtle is yellowish brown. It may be recognized by having a single carapace keel and the axillar and inguinal scutes usually separated, whereas Kinosternon scorpioides has 3 carapace keels and the axillar and inguinal scutes usually in contact ( Köhler 2008).
