Abstract

Abstract: Phalotris Cope, 1862 is a fossorial dipsadid snake genus that encompasses 15 species, distributed mainly in open areas from Northeastern Brazil to Southern Argentina. Some of its species are known from small series, and there is little to no knowledge on their morphological variation and species delimitations. In this work, we analyze the taxonomic status of Phalotris cerradensis Silveira, 2020, a recently described species known from a single specimen, and provide evidence for its synonymy with Phalotris concolor Ferrarezzi, 1993.

非凡的主张需要非凡的证据：关于Phalotris cerradensis Silveira的分类身份，2020

摘要：Phalotris Cope，1862是一个化石双足蛇属，共有15种，主要分布在巴西东北部至阿根廷南部的开阔地带。它的一些物种是从小系列中已知的，对它们的形态变异和物种划分知之甚少甚至一无所知。在这项工作中，我们分析了最近从单个标本中已知的一个物种——Phalotris cerradensis Silveira，2020的分类地位，并为其与Phalotris concolor Ferrarezzi，1993的同义关系提供了证据。
