DistributionBrazil (Goiás, W Minas Gerais, São Paulo, S Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, N Paraná), Paraguay, Bolivia

Reproductionovovivparous 
TypesHolotype: IBSP 3013, adult male 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Postocular stripe well marked, which frequently expands around the labial fissure, developing a melanism on the sides of head. All the supralabials with uniform pigmentation, without conspicuous spots. Oblique occipital blotches rarely surpass quadratemandibular articulation, consequently postcephalic stripes are absent. Borders of the dorsolateral blotches with variable contour: diffuse or well marked. Blotches between two consecutive dorsolateral blotches usually absent. Keels with the same coloration of the dorsal scales. Ground coloration extremely varied, but the cream tone with the black dorsolateral blotches are more common. Dorsolateral blotches of the trunk from 11 to 25 (modes 15 and 17) with variable formats and relatively distant from each other.
