| Comment | Conservation: This species is known only from its holotype, collected in 1891. |
| Etymology | This new species is named in honour of Mr. Frederick W. Wagner, who noticed the distinct specific status of this new species and for his contribution to the systematics of the genus Oligodon. Although unpublished, his works (Wagner 1975, 1976) are good bases to the taxonomy of this difficult genus. |
