Siphlophis leucocephalus Günther, 1863

Distribution: Siphlophis leucocephalus has a restricted distribution in central and eastern Brazil ( Prudente et al., 1998; Zaher & Prudente, 1999; Argôlo, 2004).

Habitat and time of activity: The scattered data indicate that S. leucocephalus is a small species (maximum SVL = 708 mm, male; this study) and seems to be terrestrial (N = 4; Argôlo, 2004). The only activity record is for a single individual active by day ( Argôlo, 2004). It inhabits forests, including cocoa plantations ( Argôlo, 2004).

Feeding: There is one record of a lizard as prey for S. leucocephalus ( Prudente et al., 1998) .
