| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Cylindrophis jodiae sp. nov. is distinguished from all congeners by having the following characters: 21 midbody scale rows (vs. 17 in C. engkariensis; 19 in C. boulengeri, C. burmanus, C. melanotus, C. ruffus; 23 in C. aruensis, C. opisthorhodus), 182–196 ventrals (vs. 217–225 in C. isolepis), wide and interrupted bands on the back (vs. lateral and middorsal stripes along the body in C. lineatus; two series of large reddish-brown spots along the back, which are enclosed by a black network in C. maculatus; no bands and paler back in C. yamdena). |
| Comment | Nomenclature: The paper by Amarasinghe et al. (2015) exists in two versions, an earlier one, in which Fig. 8 lists the names of the new species as C. jodii and C. mirzai, and a revised version in which these errors have been corrected (Kieckbusch et al. 2016). |
