description	Epictia borapeliotes belongs to the family Leptotyphlopidae, composed of the smallest snakes known in the world. Currently, there are records of this species for the states of Alagoas, Bahia, Ceará, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte, and Sergipe. However, due to its underground habits and small size, little is known about its actual distribution. Herein, we present the first record of E. borapeliotes for the state of Piauí, northeastern Brazil, expanding its geographical distribution about 270 km northwest from Aratuba municipality, state of Ceará, and about 750 km north of the type locality, the Santo Inácio district, Gentio do Ouro municipality, state of Bahia. In addition, we present an updated map of the geographic distribution of this species in northeastern Brazil.
