They moved it from Xenoboa into Corallus. I'm not sure why, seeing as they haven't really had anything to study in order to make that decision as far as I know. Maybe they've been studying preserved specimens. Also, I don't think they were actually found in Sao Paulo (the population is estimated at somewhere around 17 million), but rather, on the outskirts of Sao Paulo.
I should also point out that the Round Island Burrowing Boa (not sure on latin name) is much more rare than Casarea dussumieri. The latter species is very rare indeed, but the former is actually considered to be extinct by some herpetologists.
