CommentThis species can flare its ”neck” similar to a cobra, hence its name “false cobra”.

Distribution: not listed for Borneo by Stuebing et al. 2014.

Synonymy: Wallach et al. 2014 list buettikoferi as synonym of inornatus. 
EtymologyPresumably named after the Latin inornatus (unadorned) in reference to the relatively plain coloration or scalation.
