We report on species of the tribe Elapomorphini based on specimens captured during a trip to Goias State, Brazil. Various specimens were captured in a rescue of the Hydroelectric Power Plant Serra da Mesa, in Minacu, North of Goias; others, in the Universidade Nacional de Brasilia, DF, in the Zoological Park, Brasilia, DF, and Universidade Catolica de Goias, Goiania. Ten species were observed, representing a very important sample of the taxon, with dominance of the species Apostolepis ammodites and A. flavotorquata. Key words: Cerrado, central Brazil, Apostolepis, Phalotris, collections.
