Rhinobothryum bovallii (Andersson, 1916) (Serpentes: Colubridae): new locations for Colombia, hemipeneal description and comments on its natural history.
Abstract
We present new locality records of the false coral snake Rhinobothryum bovallii in Colombia, highlighting the first record for the department of Huila, as well as its occurrence in the tropical dry forest ecosystem. Additionally, we provide a complementary description of its hemipeneal structure and present data about biological and ecological aspects.
