Scaled Ground Cuckoo (Neomorphus squamiger Todd 1925) is a bird belonging to the order Cuculiformes in the Cuculidae family (CBRO, 2014). The species is endemic to the Xingu and Tapajos rivers interfluves. It inhabits onshore forests and preserved rainforests (Sigrist, 2013). The records are limited to some few specimens collected and visual and auditory records (Parker III et al., 1996; Payne, 1997). Their behavioral habits are virtually unknown to science (Sigrist, 2013). Scaled Ground Cuckoo is considered vulnerable in the “Red List” ( BirdLife International, 2012 ) and described as rare ( Stotz et al., 1996 ). Species is dependent on forest areas (BirdLife International, 2012), the main threat to destruction of their natural habitat ( Soares-Filho et al., 2006 ).N. squamiger was first described as a species and later considered as subspecies Neomorphus geoffroyi Temminck 1820 ( Payne 1997 ; Sick, 2001 ) by small genetic difference between them. Currently it is considered a full species (CBRO, 2014), by having distinct plumage. Thus, the importance of each record of N. squamiger justified for all matters of taxonomic changes, lack of ecological data, rarity and threat of records. Therefore, the current work complements a small part of this deficiency presenting new records of occurrence and behavior.About the new records of N. squamiger in chronological order: Lees (2003) recorded in the Cristalino Jungle Lodge Private Reserve of Natural Heritage (RPPN) in Alta Floresta - Mato Grosso/Brazil, on 07 June/2003. At the same location Lambert (2004) recorded an individual on May 4
