                         century include increased air temperature and reduced rainfall,

                         biomes flora are scarce. The present article reports a study to 
                         model the distribution of three epiphytic cactus species native to 
                         the Caatinga biome (Rhipsalis floccosa Salm-Dyck ex Pfeiff.,

                         \& Rose) in future climate scenarios. For this purpose, we used 
                         nine environmental variables obtained from biodiversity databases 
                         and the MaxEnt algorithm, considering two future time intervals, 
                         2041-2060 and 2061-2080, centered respectively in 2050 and 2070, 
                         with the 1961-1990 time slice as current reference. The greenhouse 
                         gas concentration scenarios were RCP 4.5 and 8.5. Five 
                         distribution models were generated for each target species. All 
                         the future models projected contraction of more than 87% in the 
                         areas with high occurrence potential of the species in relation to 
                         the present area. The areas of high potential are in the majority 
                         at elevations with specific characteristics. The drastic 
                         contraction effect of the potential areas is a warning of possible 
                         local extinctions of the target species in the Caatinga biome. 
                         Furthermore, it allows inferring local extinction for other 
                         epiphyte species with similar climate requirements. Therefore, it 
                         appears premature to make any prediction of a low impact of 
                         climate change on the Caatinga biome. RESUMO: As previs{\~o}es

                         de biodiversidade, nove vari{\'a}veis ambientais e o algoritmo 
                         MaxEnt. Considerou-se os intervalos de tempo futuros 2041-2060 e 
                         2061- 2080 centrados, respectivamente, em 2050 e 2070, e como 
                         refer{\^e}ncia corrente a fatia de tempo 1961-1990. Os 
                         cen{\'a}rios de gases de efeito estufa foram RCP4.5 e 8.5. Cinco 
                         modelos de distribui{\c{c}}{\~a}o foram gerados por 
                         esp{\'e}cie-alvo. Todos os modelos futuros projetaram para uma

                         potencial de ocorr{\^e}ncia das esp{\'e}cies em
