| Distribution | coastal Kenya Type locality: Sokoki Forest, near Malindi, Coast Province, Kenya Colony |
| Reproduction | oviparous |
| Types | Holotype: MCZ 30117 (in catalogue as 39952) |
| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Very closely related to A. werneri Boulenger of the Usambara and Uluguru Mountains, Tanganyika Territory. It maybe readily distinguished from that species by the fewer ventrals (120-139 as against 141-163 in werneri, the latter figures being based on scale counts of fifty specimens from seven localities, forty-three of the snakes are topotypes), different coloration, much smaller size (202 mm. maximum as against 354 mm. maximum). (Loveridge 1935) |
