CHILABOTHRUS DUMÉRIL AND BIBRON, 1844 (SENSU REYNOLDS ET AL., 2013)

Remarks: The genus Chilabothrus comprises a clade of endemic extant insular boa snakes from Central America, and is supported by both morphological characters and molecular data ( Sheplan & Schwartz, 1974; Tolson, 1987; Kluge, 1988b, 1989; Burbrink, 2005; Noonan & Chippindale, 2006; Reynolds et al., 2013; Pyron et al., 2014). It is represented by 12 species and 14 subspecies distributed throughout the Bahamas, Turk and Caicos Islands, and the Greater Antilles ( Cuba, Porto Rico, Hispaniola and Jamaica) ( Reynolds et al., 2013; Pyron et al., 2014; Reynolds et al., 2016).
