Diagnosis	Diagnosis (simple): Apostolepis albicollaris Lema, 2002 is easily diagnosable from all its congeners by the following combination of characters: a distinctive white nuchal collar (bordered by a narrow black collar), a very broad black lateral streak (from ventral border to 5th dorsal row), an almost entirely black ventral surface or black with lateral blotches, and 5th + 6th supralabials in contact with the parietal (temporals 0 + 0). (de Lema 2002) Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 8780 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details.
Comment	Similar species: A. dimidiata. Synonymy: ENTIAUSPE-NETO et al. 2022 synonymized Apostolepis cerradoensis with A. albicollaris.
Etymology	The specific epithet is derived from the Latin words albus (white) and collum (neck), in reference to the conspicuous white neck band (which may also be yellow).
