Two specimens were found in São José dos Ausentes on 12 May 2014 and 14 April 2016. We reviewed the records of <em>X. guentheri </em>in scientific collections and a map was generated with the points of occurrence of the species throughout its distribution range. In addition, we also present a dichotomous key to identify species of the genus <em>Xenodon </em>in the State of Rio Grande do Sul.</p> ER -
