Resumen:
Homonota horrida is distributed in Argentina and Paraguay (Cacciali et al. 2018. Zoosyst. Evol. 94:147?161; Talbot 1978.J. Herpetol. 12:433?435). It is an endemic species to the Chaco ecoregion. In the Arid Chaco, it is considered a forest specialist, and it is associated with leaf litter and fallen logs (Cruz 1994. Cuad. Herpetol. 8:119?125; Pelegrin and Bucher 2010. J. Arid Environ. 74:368?372; Pelegrin and Bucher 2012. J. Arid Environ. 79:13?19; Pelegrin and Bucher 2015. J. Nat. Hist. 49:2693?2708). In the Mountain Chaco, it behaves as a saxicolous species, using rock crevices as refuge (Aun and Martori 1994. Cuad. Herpetol. 8:90?96). In the context of the project ?Herpetofauna de Salinas Grandes de Córdoba: Conservación, diversidad y adaptaciones al medio salino?, we captured two specimens of H. horrida using pitfall traps in a halophytic environment.
