New Drymarchon species

Posted by WW on March 15, 2002 at 07:34:43:

Together with two Venezuelan colleagues, I recently had the privilege of describing Drymarchon caudomaculatus, a new species of Drymarchon from Venezuela. This also involved some reclassification of the other Drymarchon taxa, with the result that I am now recognising 5 full species in the genus.

The paper appeared in the Herpetological Journal, a UK-based publication. Since this is probably not all that widely available, I have uploaded a summary of the paper onto a web page, the URL is given below.

Cheers,

Wolfgang Wuster
