We describe a new species of Amphisbaena from the Caatinga of northeastern Brazil. The new taxon is identified mainly by having 216-239 body annuli, 13-17 caudal annuli without autotomic site, 4-8 (usually six) precloacal pores without a median hiatus, 18-24 dorsal and 18-24 ventral segments at a midbody annulus, 4 supralabials, 3 infralabials, and postmalar row present. The continued discovery of new amphisbaenians from Caatinga highlights the insufficient current knowledge regarding the diversity of this group in this semiarid region.
