Philodryas aestiva (Duméril, Bibron and Duméril, 1854)

A roadkill individual ( Fig. 19 View Fig ) was photographed by JM at Compañía Solalinde, Coronel Maciel (26°10’26.5”S 56°25’32.4”W), Caazapá department on 9 March 2024 and is the first departmental record ( Cacciali et al., 2016b). The   GoogleMaps species is considered to be of “Least Concern” in Paraguay ( Martínez et al., 2020c), however its known distribution is associated with the threatened Atlantic Forest ecoregion, with previous specimen reports from Caaguazú, Canindeyú, Guairá and Itapúa ( Cacciali et al., 2016b).
