Point-nosed Racer,

A roadkill individual ( Fig. 20 View Fig ) was collected (CZPLT-H 2473) c. 5.5 km east of Buena Vista GoogleMaps 2 at (22°36’20.5”S 59°38’25.5”W), Presidente Hayes department on 29 February 2024. It GoogleMaps is the only member of the genus with a distinctive upturned nose ( Cacciali 2024). It GoogleMaps is the first record of this Chaco endemic species in Paraguay outside of Boquerón department ( Cacciali et al., 2016b). The species is considered to be of “Least Concern” in Paraguay, however there are very few documented records of the species in the country ( Martínez et al., 2020c).
