DistributionArgentina (Chaco, Córdoba, Santiago de Estero, Salta, Tucuman, Catamarca, Santa Fe [HR 30: 55]), Bolivia, Paraguay

Type locality: Tucumán and Riacho de Oro (Chaco)  
Reproductionoviparous 
TypesSyntypes: MACN (also as MNBA), an 1180 mm male, a 1280 mm female and a 1430 mm female (M. Barón-Morlat and A. Söhncke).
Holotype: ZSM 2080/0, male, “Rosario in Argen- tinien” (original description), “Rosario da St. Fé, Argentinien” (jar label), collected by König, 1903 [Königi] 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Un taxon fácilmente distinguible de toda otra especie del género por su rostral "fragmentada" fuertemente sobresaliente (Fig. 95, A). Es de notar en Philodryas una cierta tendencia morfológica hacia un manifiesto resalto de la rostral, lo que se puede observar por ejemplo en P. trilineatus Fig. 95, B. (Cei 1993)
