Sumario:Claudius angustatus is an endangered species of freshwater turtle. In this work, we provide new records that increase its geographical distribution by 25.1 km and increase the altitudinal range by ca. 209 m. We highlight the fact that most of these data come from areas highly modified by human actions, mainly due to the sugar cane industry and cultivation.
