Abstract

ABSTRACT Snakes display a wide range of skin colors and patterns, acting in ecological, behavioral, and physiological roles. Xanthism has been reported in numerous snake species, including many neotropical taxa. Corallus hortulana is a polychromatic species widely distributed throughout South America. Yellow, patternless individuals, while rare, have been recognized as within the species’ polychromatic range. We report the first yellow, patternless specimens of Corallus hortulana collected in Bolivia and discuss whether these individuals fit the criteria of xanthism.

玻利维亚短突珊瑚（蛇科：珊瑚科）黄嘌呤的两个记录及其对黄色无图案形态型的评价

蛇表现出广泛的皮肤颜色和模式，在生态、行为和生理方面发挥作用。黄原症已经在许多蛇物种中被报道，包括许多新热带分类群。短柱珊瑚是一种多色物种，广泛分布于整个南美洲。黄色、无图案的个体虽然罕见，但已被认为属于该物种的多色范围。我们报道了在玻利维亚采集的第一个黄色、无图案的短柱珊瑚标本，并讨论了这些个体是否符合黄嘌呤症的标准。
