    Dipsas sazimai Fernandes, Marques and Argôlo, 2010 “Dormideira” (Figs. 14.5 and 27.2) It was recorded only in the state of Bahia, municipalities of Elísio Medrado (Serra da Jibóia), Jequié, and Miguel Calmon in Atlantic Forest contact areas up to 300 m elevation. It was previously recorded only in the Atlantic Forest, from Alagoas to São Paulo, also in high altitudes (Fernandes et al. 2010). Isolated populations in the Caatinga seem to have a restricted distribution in Diamantina Plateau complex, where it probably inhabits forested areas, the typical habitat of its congeners (Peters 1960). In contact areas it can be found in xerophitic vegetation next to the Atlantic Forest. It has arboreal habits, is nocturnal, and feeds on mollusks (Fernandes et al. 2010).Published as part of Guedes, Thaís B., Nogueira, Cristiano & Marques, Otavio A. V., 2014, Diversity, natural history, and geographic distribution of snakes in the Caatinga, Northeastern Brazil, pp. 1-93 in Zootaxa 3863 (1) on page 38, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3863.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/28711

    Anoplectanum Boeger, Fehlauer & Marques, 2006 Diagnosis: Tegument smooth. Genital pore opening posterior to male copulatory organ (MCO). Genital atrium muscular. Vas deferens apparently looping left intestinal caecum. MCO tubular, composed of 2 nested tubes; external tube uniform. Accessory piece absent. Prostatic reservoir simple. Accessory copulatory organ absent. Vaginal atrium sclerotized [61]. Vaginal aperture marginal. Accessory adhesive organ absent. Superficial root of ventral anchor developed. Parasites of freshwater perciform fishes (Sciaenidae). Type species: Anoplectanum haptorodynatum Boeger, Fehlauer & Marques, 2006 from Petilipinnis grunniens. Other species: Anoplectanum microsoma Boeger, Fehlauer & Marques, 2006 from Pachyurus junki Soares & Cassati, and Petilipinnis grunniens. Remarks: Anoplectanum is sister group of Murraytrematoides. Both genera share the secondary loss of accessory adhesive organ. However, Anoplectanum differs from Murraytrematoides in the comparative morphology of the vaginal atrium (i.e., sclerotized in Anoplectanum; muscular in Murraytrematoides).Published as part of Domingues, Marcus V. & Boeger, Walter A., 2008, Phylogeny and revision of Diplectanidae Monticelli, 1903 (Platyhelminthes: Monogenoidea), pp. 1-40 in Zootaxa 1698 on pages 29-30, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18075
