The Neotropical colubrid snake Pseustes sulphureus (Wagler, 1824) is widely distributed over rainforests in South America. This species occurs in the Atlantic Forest between Paraíba and São Paulo states (Peters and Orejas-Miranda 1970; Marques and Calleffo 1997), and in the Amazon Forest (see Peters and Orejas-Miranda 1970; Duellman 1978; Gasc and Rodrigues 1980; Chippaux 1986; Starace 1998; Kornacker 1999; Lehr 2001; and others). Here, we report a new record for the species, and extend its distribution to Ceará state, Northeastern Brazil.
