Abstract	Taxonomic and natural history data are presented on eight species of Atractus from the Manaus region, central Amazonia, Brazil, namely: A. alphonsehogei, A. latifrons, A, major, A. poeppigi, A. schach, A. snethlageae, A. torquatus, and A. trilineatus. Four of these species are recorded for the first time for the region, which indicates the scarcity of snake collections in central Amazonia. Apresentamos dados sobre a taxonomia e a história natural de oito espéies de Atractus da região de Manaus, Amazônia central, Brasil: A. alphonsehogei, A. latifrons, A. major, A. poeppigi, A, schach, A. snethlageae, A. torquatus e A. trilineatus. Quatro destas espécies são registradas pela primeira vez para a região, o que indica a escassez de coletas de serpentes na Amazônia central.
