Diadem Snake: Spalerosophis diadema (Schlegel 1837) View in CoL (Colubridae) ( Plate 27 View Plate 27 )
A widely distributed species occurring from west and north Africa throughout the Middle East to Central Asia. This fairly large snake species is uncommon in our study area, typically being observed two or three times per season in open steppe and in close proximity to inhabited areas. The species is noted as occurring throughout the study area by Bannikov (1971), although Sindaco et al. (2011) do not map its occurrence in central Uzbekistan.
