| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Ophisops pushkarensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from Indian congeners by the same characters that diagnose O. microlepis – large body size (SVL up to 62.7 mm), 57–62 scales around midbody and 133–148 DS (see diagnosis for O. microlepis for opposing character states in other Ophisops spp.). Ophisops pushkarensis sp. nov. is most closely related to O. microlepis and the new species described below (diagnosis against the new species provided after its description). Ophisops pushkarensis sp. nov. can be differentiated from O. microlepis by its higher number of dorsal scales (mean number of DS 139.1, range 133–148 versus 129.6, 122–136); the head relatively longer (HL 23.8% SVL, 21.1–25.0% versus HL 21.3% SVL, 20.1–22.0%) and narrower (HW/ HL 0.544, 0.519–0.591 versus 0.603, 0.570–0.630). |
| Comment | Similar species: O. microlepis; reports of O. microlepis from Rajasthan likely represent O. pushkarensis. |
| Etymology | The name is for the type locality of the new species, Pushkar, in Rajasthan, India. |
