Sibynophis collaris (Gray, 1853)

Material examined. BANGLADESH • 1 adult; Sylhet Division, Moulvibazar District, Kamalganj Upazila, LNP, on trail near Janki Chora ; 24°18.85′N, 091°47.15′E; 10 Aug. 2011; 15:00; photo voucher ZRC ( IMG) 3.375 GoogleMaps .

Identification. Sibynophis collaris is a slender brown snake with a slate-gray head, white supralabials, black nuchal mark on collar bordered behind with cream, and black spots forming a line on each side of a light venter. It differs from S. triangularis in having the black nuchal mark not triangular ( Das 2010).

Taxonomic notes. The presence of S. collaris in LNP was published as the first confirmed country record in Bangladesh ( Rahman and Ahmed 2012b).

Habitat. We usually found this species in mature forest, but sometimes it was found in disturbed forest, and one roadkill was adjacent to paddy fields.
