Chaco Racer,

A juvenile individual ( Fig. 21 View Fig ) was collected (CZPLT-H 2477) at Laguna Capitán (22°32’56.1”S 59°43’20.5”W), Presidente Hayes department on 20 March 2024. The GoogleMaps only previous report of the species in Presidente Hayes department, from Pozo Colorado GoogleMaps ( Cacciali et al. 2016b) is an error, and the cited photographs were taken in Boquerón department (H. del Castillo pers. comm.). This is thus the first record of this species in Paraguay outside of Boquerón department ( Cacciali et al., 2016b). The species is considered to be of “Least Concern” in Paraguay ( Martínez et al., 2020c).
