Distribution	Brazil (Sao Paulo, Parana, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina) Type locality: S. Bento, Santa Catarina, Brazil.
Reproduction	oviparous
Types	Holotype: IBSP (= IB) 7807, female
Diagnosis
Comment	Habitat: fully arboreal (Harrington et al. 2018). Phylogenetics: MELO-SAMPAIO et al. 2020 tentatively included arnaldoi within Pseudablabes (based on morphology) although they did not have any molecular data. Note that Arredondo et al. 2020 could not replicate the monophyly of Pseudablabes as defined by Melo-Sampaio et al., hence we reverted them to Philodryas.
Etymology	Named after Arnaldo França, Amaral's technical assistant.
