I think the name is misspelled but in the title of the picture.

The spelling in the file name is correct. Blue Long-glanded Coral Snake (Calliophis bivirgatus) formerly Maticora bivirgata until synonomised by Slowinsky et al. 2001.

Very rare and difficult to come across.

Cheers,
Michael

forgot the subspecies designation 'flaviceps' (Calliophis bivirgatus flaviceps).
