We monitored reptile and bird roadkills in Cerrado–Pantanal landscapes along the Campo Grande to Corumbá highway BR-262. We describe species distribution in different landscape zones, including the first geographic record for  Hydrodynastes bicinctus  Herrmann, 1804 in the Pantanal basin. The roadkill occurrence of  Spizaetus melanoleucus  (Vieillot, 1816) is an outstanding record. We recorded 930 individuals belonging to 29 reptile and 47 bird species; 20 of these species are new roadkill records in Brazil. The 8 new records of reptile species include  Eunectes notaeus  Cope, 1862,  Bothrops mattogrossensis  Amaral,1925,  Dracaena paraguayensis  Amaral,1950 and  H. bicinctus ; and 12 new records of bird species include  S. melanoleucus ,  Heterospizias meridionalis  Latham, 1790,  Urubitinga urubitinga  (Gmelin, 1788),  Pulsatrix perspicillata  (Latham, 1790),  Aramus guarauna  (Linnaeus, 1766), and  Jabiru mycteria  (Lichtenstein, 1819). Richness of road-killed species on the BR-262 highway seemed to be high, reinforcing concerns about wildlife-vehicle collisions where these accidents occur, as they lead to long term and chronic impacts on wildlife and road safety in the Pantanal region.
