Comment | Synonymy after PETERS & OREJAS-MIRANDA 1970. Dixon & Ketchersid (1969) synonymized Schmidtophis with Chersodromus. According to Canseco-Márquez et al. 2018, Zweifel (1954), described C. nigricans from Guerrero, however, Scott (1967) placed this name into the synonymy of Tropidodipsas annulifera.
