TYPE LOCALITY AND TYPE SPECIMEN (S).— Zamboanga, Mindanao Id., Philippines. Holotype: BMNH 1946.1 .15.41 (original number BMNH 82.11.25.13).

REMARKS.— Malnate and Underwood (1988:85), based largely on body scale characters and dentition, assigned two Philippine species formerly included in the genus Natrix and/or Rhabdophis , to Tropidonophis , i.e., T. dendrophiops , and T. negrosensi s. Although we do not feel comfortable with these assignments and believe that the two nominal species should be reassigned to the now well-established genus Rhabdophis , we hesitate to do so pending a thorough genomic analysis. Also, with respect to the placement of the long enigmatic species “ Natrix barbouri Taylor, 1922 ”, as noted in the Remarks under Rhabdophis barbouri , despite similarities in some features with Tropidonophis , they referred barbouri to Rhabdophis (Malnate and Underwood 1988:195) .
