Type locality: Fonteboa, Upper Amazon, Brazil.  
Reproductionoviparous 
TypesHolotype: MNHN-RA 6821
Holotype: ANSP 11382 [Enyalius coerulescens]
Syntype: MSNG 36123 [festae] 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: This species can be distinguished from other species of Enyalioides by having caudal scales that are relatively homogeneous in size on each caudal segment; in all other species of Enyalioides, the dorsal and lateral caudals increase in size posteriorly on each caudal segment, and the largest (posteriormost) caudals are mucronate or have some kind of projection (Fig. 3). In addition, most male specimens of E. laticeps have a longitudinal white, cream, or orange stripe 2–3 scales wide that extends from the commisure of mouth to a point below the tympanum [from TORRES-CARVAJAL et al. 2011]. 
CommentType: MSNTO R2595 [Enyalioides festae PERACCA 1897]

Probably also in Bolivia (fide LANGSTROTH 2005) 
EtymologyNamed after Latin latus, wide, broad; spacious, extensive + Latin -ceps, -headed. (GUICHENOT 1855, Esteban Lavilla, pers. comm., April 2024)
