Zool. 121:80), a1though two previous records for unspecified localities in the state, all probably referable to B. levicollis, were noted by Guillette and Smith (1982, Trans. KansasAcad. Sci. 85:32). Moreover, literature records (loc. cit. and Van Devender and Lowe 1977, J. Herpeto1. 11:43) for Sierra del Nido are in error and actua11yare B. levicollis. Specimen reponed herein is a nonhward range extension of about 125 km from Guanacevi, Durango (Gui1lette and Smith 1982, op. cit.). Submitted by JULIO A.

Verified by M. T. Rodrigues. AlI individua.ls were collected among bromeliad leaves in open coastal sand-dunehabitats ("restingas"). This little-known gekkonid lizard was, unti1 recently, known only from a .locality in the state of Pernambuco (Igarassu, 7°50'S, 34°54'W) and from Salvador (12°50'S, 38°25'W) in the state ofBahia (Vanzolini and Gomes 1979, Pap. Avulsos Zool. São Paulo 32:254). Rodrigues (1987,Arq. Zool. SãoPau.lo31:223-224) mentions the occtirrence ofthis speciesin Cumuruxatiba (17°06'S, 39°11'W) in the state of Bahia, without citing vouchers. He commented that geckos from this locality were found in undisturbed rainforest habitat, unlike those of Sa.lvadorand Igarassu, which were recorded in restinga habitats. He suggested that his population may have been historically iso.latedfrom its congeners in Salvador, some 500 km

away, due to a gradual rising of.sea-level (which presumably altered previously favorable habitats south of Salvador, forcing the geckos to adapt to a different habitat). Conversely, our findings of populations of E. lutzae in coastal restinga habitats, both close to Cumuruxatiba and to the north of it, are suggestive that the distribution of this lizard may actually be fairly continuous along the coast of Bahia (at least from Salvador southward). The specimens here mentioned constitute the first vouchers reported from south of Salvador. Prado lies about 30 km south of Cumuruxatiba and is therefore the southernmost locality recorded for E. lutzae. Submitted by DAVOR vRcrnRADIc, FÁBIO H. HATANO, CARLOS FREDERICO D.
