Herpetofauna, Pliocercus elapoides, Distribution, Yucatan PeninsulaAbstract
This record extends the known distribution 75 km southeast of the closest record. In the same way, the correct georeferencing of important records in scientific collections is discussed; said record reiterates the need to increase the sampling effort in the southern area of the state of Yucatán in order to complement the distribution of this and other herpetofauna
