| Reproduction | oviparous. |
| Types | Holotype: MZB Ophi.5980. An adult male; collected at 22:58 on 05 August 2015 by Elijah Wostl, Ilham Fonna and Muhammad Iksan as it was crossing a small rocky creek through a wooded region. |
| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: This species of Lycodon is recognized by the presence of keeled scales, an elongate loreal scale that reaches the orbit, the absence of a preocular scale, an undivided anal scale, and a banded venter. Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 1542 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. |
| Comment | Apparently known only from one adult male, the holotype (Wostl et al. 2017 are not explicit about this but list only one specimen). |
| Etymology | This species is named in honor of Irvan Sidik, Indonesian herpetologist, a colleague, and friend, for his numerous contributions to the herpetology of the Sunda Shelf, and his promotion of scientific collections and the study of snakes. |
