Range extension of the Pantanal cat _Leopardus braccatus_ (Carnivora, Felidae) in a Cerrado-Caatinga-Atlantic forest ecotone, Brazil
2016  Mastozoologia Neotropical (23): 171-177

The Pantanal cat _Leopardus braccatus _(Cope, 1889) is a small-sized felid found in the open biomes of Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay and northeastern Argentina. We provide a new record for the northeast of the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, based on a road-killed specimen. This is the easternmost known record of the Pantanal cat, extending its range about 310 km, in a Cerrado-Caatinga-Atlantic Forest ecotone.
