Um evento incomum de predação de vertebrado por um lagarto insetívoro

Abstract

The knowledge about Enyalius perditus Jackson, 1978 (Leiosauridae) indicates that the main food items are invertebrates. However, this communication is the first vertebrate predation report, the lizard Hemidactylus mabouia (Moureau De Jonnes, 1818) (Gekkonidae) in a remnant of Atlantic Forest in Ubatuba, state of São Paulo, Brazil. This record highlights the lack of knowledge concerning the natural history of E. perditus and adds information about types of prey as food source.
