Abstract

Three specimens of Amapasaurus tetradactylus Cunha, 1970 were collected during a field survey in the core area of the Amazonian National Park of French Guiana (‘Parc Amazonien de Guyane’), in southern French Guiana. This is the first record of the species for this country, extending its distribution 140 km northwards.
