| Diagnosis | Diagnosis (n=27). Micrurus anibal sp. nov. can be distinguished from all congeners by the unique combination of the following characters: black snout to the anterior border of the prefrontal scales; well-defined prefrontal white transverse band, from the middle of the second pair of supralabials to the posterior border of the prefrontals; black cephalic band extending from the posterior border of the prefrontals to the middle third of the parietals; triads in body 8–16 (average 12), ventrals 210–228 in males, 208–252 in females; subcaudals 20– 25 in males, 18–29 in females; hemipenis long, bilobed, capitate and ornamented with calcified spines; hemipenis with capitular sulcus; capitulum longer than body; basal pocket developed and ornamented by few spines. (Nascimento et al. 2024) Additional details (3074 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. |
| Comment | Venomous! Synonymy: after Nascimento et al. 2024. Distribution: See map in Nascimento et al. 2024: Fig. 11 Similar species: Micrurus bonita and Micrurus anibal are closely related to M. ibiboboca and may be subspecies of that species. Even though their hemipenes looks different, they are morphologically very similar. |
