Abstract

Abstract: The colubrid snake Phalotris nigrilatus is endemic to San Pedro Department (Paraguay) and is known from a very few historical specimens. We analyze morphological variation and geographic distribution of P. nigrilatus on the basis of currently available specimens, including long-overlooked museum material. Also, we briefly report for the first time its live coloration and behavior on the basis of a recently collected individual. Results of morphological and geographic analyses lead to a slight revision of diagnosis and an argument for a higher conservation priority for this species.

巴拉圭特有蛇Phalotris nigratus Ferrarezzi，1993（蛇科：蛇科：Elapomorphini）的形态学再研究及其生态和保护现状

摘要：黑斑蛇（Phalotris nigratus）是圣佩德罗省（巴拉圭）的特有蛇，为数不多的历史标本所知。我们在现有标本的基础上，包括长期被忽视的博物馆材料，分析了黑边藻的形态变异和地理分布。此外，我们在最近收集的一个个体的基础上，首次简要报道了它的活体颜色和行为。形态学和地理分析的结果导致了对诊断的轻微修改，并为该物种的更高保护优先级提出了论点。
