Review of Erythrolamprus taeniogaster (Jan, 1863) (Serpentes, Colubridae) specimens from Bolivia and report of the first record from the Department of Pando

Abstract

We present a new departmental record for Erythrolamprus taeniogaster (Jan, 1863) and discuss the species’ distribution in Bolivia and South America. There is a lack of consolidated and updated information on museum specimens and associated locality data for this species from Bolivia. This is largely because of changes in taxonomy that are not broadly reflected in contemporary literature and from limited sampling in this part of South America. This information improves knowledge of this species’ distributional status and summarizes known and available data from the Bolivian portion of its range.
