First record of Micrurus lemniscatus (Elapidae) in the state of Piauí, northeastern Brazil

Micrurus lemniscatus is widely distributed in South America, and in Brazil is known from the Amazonian Forest, Cerrado, and Babassu Palm Forest biomes. Herein, we provide the first record of this species for the state of Piauí in northeastern Brazil and the first record from a Cerrado/Caatinga transition zone. We also present an updated distribution map for M. lemniscatus.
