Our new record lies 600 km southward from the species' closest record in Santo Inácio, Bahia, and at the right side of the São Francisco River, in the Jequitinhonha River basin (Fig. 2). Rodrigues (1984a, b, 1991a,b,c) described sev- eral lizard species and genera for the Paleoquater- nary dune fields of the middle São Francisco River, many of them considered endemic to the Caatinga biome, including P. paeminosus. The fau- nal composition of these dune fields is markedly diverse with endemic fossorial and psammophi- ...

... the region of Grão Mogol is located inside the limits of the Cerrado biome (according to IBGE 2004), it actually lies in a transition zone between the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest biomes, evidenced by the complex and high di- verse vegetation mosaic that characterizes the re- gion ( Pirani et al. 2003). Indeed, some patches of vegetation in Grão Mogol resemble that of the Caatinga, by the presence of several cacti and de- ciduous shrub species (Pirani et al. 2003; Fig. 3). It is important to note that there seem to be two can- didate new species for the genus Psilophthalmus. ...

It is important to note that there seem to be two can- didate new species for the genus Psilophthalmus. The first recorded inside the Cerrado biome limits, at the left side of the São Francisco River in the Parque Nacional Grande Sertão Veredas (Fig. 2), northwestern Minas Gerais (Recoder & Nogueira 2007). The other, inside the Caatinga biome limits, recorded for the Chapada Diamantina (northern segment of the Serra do Espinhaço mountain range) at municipality of Mucugê and Palmeiras, Bahia state (Freitas & Silva 2007 andFreitas et al. 2012).

Subsequent studies in the Caatinga region and adjacent ecosystems confirmed that most of the purportedly endemic squamates of that area are indeed restricted to psamophilic habitats surrounding the São Francisco dune region (Rodrigues 2003).

The lizard genus Psilophthalmus was originally described from the sandy deposits at the northern end of Serra do Espinhaço,
in Santo Inácio, state of Bahia, but since then it has been recorded in other Brazilian localities of the states of Bahia,
Minas Gerais, and Sergipe. Here, we review the collected specimens based on molecular markers (mitochondrial 12S,
16S, ND4 and cyt b, and nuclear C-mos and NT3) and morphological evidence (external, hemipenial and osteological
morphologies). In the course of our revision we find out that Psilophthalmus Rodrigues 1991 was preoccupied by Psilophthalmus
Szépligeti 1902 (Hymenoptera, Braconidae). The replacement name Psilops is proposed for the genus for
which we recognize three species, with Psilops paeminosus as type species. One of the new species is found along the
high elevation areas of the Chapada Diamantina plateaus, state of Bahia, while the other occurs in the cerrados of “Serra
Geral”, in the occidental plateaus of that state. Psilops paeminosus comprises three distinct allopatric clades that, based
on current evidence, cannot be diagnosed morphologically: one from the vicinities of the type locality, one from the lower
São Francisco River, and a third from the uplands of Minas Gerais and southern inland Bahia. We keep the latter two as
candidate species but defer their formal description until further evidence allows robust diagnosis. Derived clades of Psilops
with shorter limbs have invaded hotter and drier environments, while mostly used sandy soils along their evolution.
