Abstract
The present study records the occurrence of Sphaenorhynchus caramaschii Toledo, Garcia, Lingnau & Haddad, 2007 for periurban areas of São Paulo and Sorocaba cities, eastern side of São Paulo state. These new records represent the northeastern known localities for this species and expand the septentrional limit of its geographic distribution. We also present comments and biological information for these recently discovered populations.
