description: <i>Micrurus dumerilii</i> Jan, 1858: Figure 14B <i>Micrurus dumerilii</i> Jan 1858: 522. <b>Material examined.</b> Table 2. <i>Micrurus mipartitus</i> (Duméril, Bibron &amp; Duméril, 1854): Figure 14C <i>Elaps mipartitus</i> Duméril et al. 1854: 1220. <i>Micrurus mipartitus</i> — Amaral 1926: 66. <b>Material examined.</b> Table 2. <i>Trilepida macrolepis</i> (Peters, 1857): Figure 14D <i>Stenostoma macrolepis</i> Peters 1857: 402. <i>Trilepida macrolepis</i> — Hedges 2011: 63 [by implication]. <b>Material examined.</b> Table 2. This is a very small species that may be differentiated from other snakes by having body scales of the same size (without enlarged ventral), arranged in 14 rows around de body (Köhler 2008). It has 4 supralabial scales and 10 scale rows around the middle of the tail. Individuals are dark brown dorsally and lighter ventrally, with whitish scale borders (Pinto et al. 2010). <i>Epictia goudotii</i>, a species potentially sympatric with <i>Trilepida macrolepis</i>, has 2 supralabials, a darker color pattern with stripes, and a yellow rostral scale (Pinto et al. 2010). <i>Bothrops asper</i> (Garman, 1883): Figure 14E <i>Trigonocephalus asper</i> Garman 1883: 124. <i>Bothrops asper</i> — Hoge 1966: 113. <b>Material examined.</b> Table 2. <i>Porthidium lansbergii</i> (Schlegel, 1841): Figure 14F <i>Trigonocephalus lansbergi</i> Schlegel 1841: 1. <i>Porthidium lansbergii</i> — McDiarmid et al. 1999: 320. <b>Material examined.</b> Table 2. <i>Kinosternon leucostomum</i> (Duméril, Bibron &amp; Duméril, 1851): Figure 14G <i>Cinosternon leucostomum</i> Duméril et al. 1851: 17. <i>Cinosternon postinguinale</i> Cope 1887: 23. <b>Material examined.</b> Table 2. This small freshwater cryptodiran turtle is yellowish brown. It may be recognized by having a single carapace keel and the axillar and inguinal scutes usually separated, whereas <i>Kinosternon scorpioides</i> has 3 carapace keels and the axillar and inguinal scutes usually in contact (Köhler 2008).
