Abstract

Abstract: We report the presence of nucho-dorsal glands in Rhabdophis guangdongensis. This recently described species is the 18th member of the genus known to possess integumentary defensive glands. Nine to ten pairs of nuchal glands, separated by a diastema from 116–118 pairs of dorsal glands were observed in two specimens. Because the species was previously known only from the female holotype, we also report data on the size and scalation of five additional specimens and on the morphology of the hemipenis.

摘要：我们报道了广东鼠颈背腺的存在。这种最近被描述的物种是已知的具有珠被防御腺的属中的第18个成员。在两个标本中观察到9到10对珠心腺，由116到118对背腺的间隙分隔开。由于该物种以前只从雌性正模中得知，我们还报告了另外五个标本的大小和分级以及半阴茎的形态数据。
