REMARKS. — As observed by Malnate and Underwood (1988:195), “In having high counts of ventrals, subcaudals, and maxillary teeth, barbouri shows some resemblance to Philippine Tropidonophis negrosensis and dendrophiops ”, other characters are “significantly different... but are present in Philippine species of Rhabdophis . Natrix barbouri Taylor , therefore, is assigned to Rhabdophis .”
