Philodryas erlandi is distinguished from P. mattogrossensis by the absence of a well-marked dark green or brown dorsal stripe restricted to the anterior one- third of the body (vs present in P. mattogrossensis), pres- ence of a dark line on the supralabials (vs absent or less evident in P. mattogrossensis), dorsal formula usually 19–19–15 (vs usually 21–19–15 in P. mattogrossensis), and first temporal elongated (vs. as wide as high in P. mattogrossensis). |
