Elaphe - Orthriophis Taxonomic Change

Newworldserpents Nov 17, 2009 07:43 PM

Hello,

I am trying to find the paper classifying certain species of the genus Elaphe into Orthriophis. Anyone know where I can find more information on this subject?

Thank you.

Cheers,
Michael

Michael, I just saw this post - this is kind of a dead sub-forum...

Anyway, there is a paper by Utiger et al., Molecular systematics and phylogeny of Old and New World Rat Snakes (2002), which is probably the one you're after. You can find it at cnah.org.
