From H. danieli, it differs in having a cream, yellow or red venter, checkered or banded black or both (versus cream venter with two medial rows of black semi-lunar marks). From H. gomesi, it differs in having no subcaudal keels; (for information on references, see Suppl. material 3).</p> <p>Distribution</p> <p>Helicops leopardinus records range from north-western Argentina to the Estuary of the Amazon and from Ecuador to the Brazilian State Bahia. There are nearly no records in the south-eastern provinces of Brazil (Fig. 2 c).</p> <p>Morphology remark</p> <p>ZSM 134/1947, a female, possesses 109 subcaudals (versus 53-88 in females of H. leopardinus). We interpret this as an abnormality (see also Tables 1, 2).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/5896BB557D335504A57D286F2BF8C992	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(2013), H. apiaka can be distinguished from all its congeners, except H. angulatus by the following combination of characteristics: absent intergenials, subcaudal keels present and 21-22 dorsal scale rows at mid-body (compared to 19 in H. gomesi). From H. angulatus, it differs by having 21-24 dorsal scale rows at anterior body, 21-22 at mid-body and 17-19 at posterior body (versus 19-21/19-20/17-19 in H. angulatus) and by having 118-127 ventral scales in males and 124-132 in females (versus 105-123 in male and 109-123 in female H. angulatus), as well as hemipenes morphology. The specimens examined in Kawashita-Ribeiro et al. (2013) originated from neighbouring areas to the H. apiaka locations. Our own examinations revealed that males of H. angulatus possess 103-119 ventrals in males and 104-125 in females. There is considerable overlap, especially between female specimens of the two species, thus excluding this character for identification. Besides that, we detected two specimens displaying morphology characters of H. angulatus (colouration, subcaudal keels, remaining pholidosis), but showing considerably more ventrals than other specimens of H. angulatus (SMF 17819, a female, with 156 ventrals and ZSM 0595/2003, female, with 130 ventrals). There is no locality information available for SMF 17819. ZSM 0595/2003 was collected at the Rio Parana in Porto Tibiriça, Sao Paulo, Brazil. This is approximately 1300 km distant from the distribution range of H. apiaka. The origin of a speciemen is probably an important feature in order to assign it to one of the two species (for information on references, see Suppl. material 3).</p> <p>Distribution</p> <p>The only known specimens of H. apiaka are from northern Mato Grosso and southern Pará (Fig. 1 b).</p> <p>Morphology remark</p> <p>Regarding the number of dorsal scale roles at mid-body in H. apiaka, there is contradictory information. Moraes-da-Silva et al. (2019) states that H. apiaka has 19-21 dorsal scale rows at mid-body, which would eliminate this character as a diagnostic character to distinguish it from H. angulatus. This would leave only the number of ventrals in females as a sure diagnostic trait. However, in the original species description, Kawashita-Ribeiro et al. (2013) report 21-22 scale rows. At this point, we trust the data given by Kawashita-Ribeiro et al. (2013), as both publications examined the same specimens.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A770EC5FDEE2548695F275FA9C869985	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

From H. nentur, it differs in having a semi-divided nasal scale, whereas H. nentur has an entire nasal scale. From H. carinicaudus, it differs in having a cream or red venter with 1-3 dark stripes or darkly checkered or black with light spots (versus two series of dark semi-lunar marks in H. carinicaudus). In some specimens, intermediate patterns are observed. From H. tapajonicus, it differs in having strongly keeled dorsal scales, whereas H. tapajonicus has only a weak dorsal keeling. Additionally, H. tapajonicus possesses a ventrolateral greenish stripe, which is absent in H. infrataeniatus (for information on references, see Suppl. material 3). Furthermore, H. tapajonicus and H. infrataeniatus have allopatric distribution ranges.</p> <p>Distribution</p> <p>Helicops infrataeniatus is recorded from the southern Brazilian States Mato Grosso do Sul, Sao Paulo, Parana, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul and from Paraguay, Uruguay and north-western Argentina Carreira Vidal et al. (2005) (Fig. 2 b).</p> <p>Morphology remark</p> <p>Kawashita-Ribeiro et al. (2013) reported subcaudal keels in H. infrataeniatus. In contrast, 57 of the 58 examined specimens during this study showed smooth subcaudal scales. Only SMNS 3065 had subcaudal keels (see Tables 1, 2).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/FAC174B8945D5ED6B3E2AAEF8097F8EB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Helicops angulatus has a banded venter, Helicops infrataeniatus has a venter either with three black stripes on a cream background or checkered black and cream, sometimes red, H. modestus has a uniform cream venter. Additionally, the specimen can be distinguished from H. infrataeniatus by its distribution.
