Type locality: Indawgyi Wildlife Sanctuary in the vicinity of Lwe Mon Village, west of Indawgyi Lake, Mohnyin Township, Kachin State, Myanmar (ca. 25.1787° N, 96.2917° E, elevation 245 m).  
Reproduction 
TypesHolotype. CAS 241554 (field number: CAS-MHS 26113), an adult specimen collected by J.A. Wilkinson, K.T. Kyaw, and J.V. Vindum on 26 July 2008 (Fig. 4).
Paratype. USNM 590030 (field number: CAS-MHS 26114), an adult specimen, collection data as for the holotype. 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: A species of the genus Cylindrophis, identified by a combination of the following characteris- tics: (1) small size: 297–333 mm SVL; (2) 17-19-17 dorsal scale rows; (3) 216–220 ventrals; (4) eight subcau- dals; (5) 65–69 very narrow diffuse pale ventral blotches that are branching, creating the impression of a diffuse reticulum; and (6) a pale bar running along the posterior border of the prefrontals (Fig. 4). These morphological characters are sufficient to distinguish C. slowinskii from all other species of Asian pipesnakes.

Comment 
EtymologyThe specific epithet is a patronym to honour the American herpetologist Joseph Bruno “Joe” Slowinski (1962–2001) and his pioneering work on herpetofauna, especially in Myanmar. In 2001, Joe led a multidisciplinary expedition to Kachin State, Myanmar, the type locality of the new species described herein. For biographical details see Donnelly & Crother (2003) and James (2008).
