reginae: Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana.

semilineatus: Amazonian Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela, Brazil (including Atlanlic Forest, Pará)

Type locality: “Indiis”; restricted to Suriname by DIXON 1983.  
Reproductionoviparous 
TypesLectotype: NRM 44 (also given as RMS), Paralectotype: NRM 45, juvenile specimen, designated by Andersson (1899).
Lectotype: ZSM 1832/0/1 (ZSM H 1832/0 A in Hoogmoed & Gruber 1983), male [semilineata]
Holotype: BMNH 1946.1.5.73 [graphicus]
Holotype: ZFMK 34343, Paratypes: ZFMK 33346, 33350 (juv.) [intermedius] 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Erythrolamprus reginae can be distinguished from all congeners by unique combination of the following characters: (1) dorsal scales rows 17, reducing to 15 after midbody; (2) apical pit single; (3) ventrals 125–164 in females, 131–162 in males; (4) subcaudals 54–96 in females, 56–84 in males; (5) dorsum of head olive green, in preservative, extending from anterior third of body, changing gradually to grayish-brown at midbody; (6) upper edges of supralabials with distinctive dark postorbital stripe; (7) belly creamish-white with black spots with squared or rhomboid shape arranged in a checkered pattern; (8) black lateral spots extending from anterior third of the body, between 2–3th dorsal scale rows, to form a lateral stripe extending until the end of the tail; (9) ventral
surface of tail creamish-white without black spots; (10) intrasulcal region of hemipenial body with spines slightly elongated, arranged in a row extending from distal region of lobes to the level of bifurcation of sulcus spermaticus; (11) medial region of hemipenial body, on the asulcate side, ornamented by spinules homogeneously distributed, or elongated spines arranged in one or three longitudinal rows; (12) sulcus spermaticus bifurcates at half length of the hemipenial body; and (13) moderate body size (SVL 87–709 mm) [from Ascenso et al. 2019]

CommentSynonymy partly after PETERS & OREJAS-MIRANDA 1970. L. r. zweifeli has been confused with Liophis miliaris (see Kornacker et al. 2002). WALLACH et al. 2014 list Leimadophis reginae macrosoma and Natrix semilineata as synonyms of Liophis reginae. Dixon 1983 placed Erythrolamprus oligolepis in the synonymy of Liophis reginae semilineata but CUNHA & NASCIMENTO 1993 revalidated it as Leimadophis oligolepis. Ascenso et al. 2019 synonymized E. r. semilineatus with E. reginae. Dixon (1983) confirmed that the holotype of Coluber violaceus Lacépède 1789 was lost, and maintained the synonimization with E. reginae proposed by Günther (1858). However, Ascenso et al. 2019 propose removing C. violaceus from the synonymy of Erythrolamprus reginae, based on the incongruence between the description of E. reginae and that performed by Lacépède (1789) (25 subcaudal scales in C. violaceus vs. 62 in E. reginae). Thus, they propose that the status nomen dubium is be applied to C. violaceus, until a further investigation clarify the identity of this taxon.

Abundance: apparently known from only 2 specimens (Entiauspe-Neto et al. 2021).

Distribution: see map in Ascenso et al. 2019: 88 (Fig. 8). See map in Nogueira et al. 2019.

Subspecies: Erythrolamprus reginae zweifeli (ROZE 1959) and Erythrolamprus reginae macrosomus (AMARAL 1936) have been elevated to full species status.

Habitat: forest 
EtymologyNamed after Latin regina, reginae, queen; probably dedicated to the Swesish queen Lovisa Ulrika. (Esteban Lavilla, pers. comm., April 2024)
