Abstract

A new species of the Oligodon cyclurus-group is described from southern Vietnam and Cambodia, Oligodon saintgironsi spec. nov. It differs from other members of this group by the combination of 19 scale rows at the neck, 17 or 18 dorsal scale rows at midbody, a long and robust tail, very long and thin hemipenes, and a blotched pattern. It is most similar to Oligodon ocellatus (Morice, 1875). Oligodon analepticos Campden-Main, 1970 is confirmed as a synonym of Oligodon ocellatus. A key to the Oligodon cyclurus-group is provided.
