CommentSynonymy and subspecies after PETERS & OREJAS-MIRANDA 1970. Synonymization of Herpetodryas reticulata with Dryadophis boddaerti by STUART 1941 is questionable according to PETERS & OREJAS-MIRANDA 1970.

Type species: Coluber boddaerti is the type species of the genus Eudryas FITZINGER 1843: 26. However, the genus name is pre-occupied by Eudryas BOISDUVAL 1836 (Lepidoptera). Stuart 1939 proposed Dryadophis as replacement name for Eudryas FITZINGER 1843.

Distribution: not in Central America. Reports from Panama and Costa Rica represent members of the melanolomus group, e.g. M. alternatus in Panama (Montingelli et al. 2018 and G. Montingelli, pers. comm. 23 Feb 2023). Not in Ecuador fide Omar Torres-Carvajal, pers. comm., 8 Sep 2016. See map in Nogueira et al. 2019.

Habitat: partly arboreal (Harrington et al. 2018). 
EtymologyNamed after Dr. Pieter Boddaert (1730-1796), a physician, naturalist, zoologist, ornithologist, and physiologist who lectured on natural history at the University of Utrecht (1793) and corresponded regularly with Linnaeus (from Beolens et al. 2011).
