| Diagnosis | DIAGNOSIS: A small insular species of Pseudalsophis that differs from all other species of the genus by the following unique combination of characters: ventral counts in females 171–179 and males 175–181; subcaudal counts in females 82–94 and males 95–100; edge of the capitulum on its asulcate side squared instead of rounded; capitular groove forming a sharp constriction on the organ. Further differs from P. hephaestus sp. nov. by its dorsum colour pattern of transversal bands that are disposed in an inverted ‘Y-shape’ condition. |
