DiagnosisDiagnosis: “A Coniophanes with 23-25 dorsal scale rows, differing from piceivittis in having a narrower lateral dark stripe, 0.5-1.5 rows wide, which gradually becomes lighter toward the ventrals, and in having a higher number of caudals.” (Bailey 1937) 
CommentWilson & Meyer 1985 speculate that this might be a subspecies of C. piceivittis.

Distribution: see map in Palacios-Aguilar & Flores-Villela 2020: 119 (Fig. 6). 
EtymologyNamed after Karl Patterson Schmidt (1890-1957), American herpetologist (see Davis 1957 and RESETAR & VORIS 1997 for biographical notes).
