TypesHolotype: USNM 563364, adult male; Collected by: Tomis Manzanares and James R. McCranie. Collection Date: May 27, 2005. Paratypes: (n=3) USNM 563365-66, adult males USNM 563367, a juvenile female, all from the type locality. 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Sibon manzanaresi differs from all other species of the S. annulatus group, as defined by Savage (2002) and McCranie (2006), except S. linearis and S. sanniolus, in lacking distinctive ventral markings. The new species can be distinguished from those two species by lacking preoculars, with the loreal bordering the eye (versus preoculars present, separating loreal from eye) and by having higher numbers of ventrals and subcaudals. The dorsal pattern of having small darker brown blotches to darker brown crossbands on the paler brown nape and dark brown flecking, or a dark brown variegated pattern with additional spotting, or darker brown dorsal and lateral blotches on the paler brown posterior portion of the body in S. manzanaresi is also unique in the S. annulatus group. (McCranie 2007) 
CommentSibon manzanaresi is a member of the Sibon annulatus species group. Within this group, the new species appears most closely related to Sibon dimidiatus and S. miskitus.

Habitat: fully arboreal (Harrington et al. 2018). 
EtymologyNamed after Tomás Manzanares who collected the first specimen of this species.
