CommentLiophis festae has been thought to be conspecific with L. taeniurus but is now considered as a valid species (DIXON 2000).

Distribution: reported from Pará in Brazil (HR 32: 278) but apparently in error fide Caldeira-Costa, pers. comm. 14 April 2016. 
EtymologyNamed after Dr. Enrico Festa (1868-1939), an Italian zoologist. He visited Egypt, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria (1893) and collected in Panama and Ecuador (1895-1898). He worked for Museo e Instituto di Zoologia Sistematica dell'Universita di Torino (1899-1923) as Deputy Assistant Professor (1899), retiring as Honorary Vice Director (Beolens et al. 2011: 89).
