Popis: Redescription of Ptyas doriae (Boulenger, 1888) The original description of Ptyas doriae (as Cyclophiops doriae) by Boulenger (1888) was brief and based on two specimens only. Also, a lack of knowledge of intrapopulational variation at the time probably led to the recognition of NHML 1946.1.5.32 as belonging to adifferent species by Boulenger (1900). Subsequent treatments (e.g. Pope 1935; Smith 1943) of this species were also very brief. Hence, a thorough redescription including an account of intrapopulational variation in lepidosis and colour description of this species is necessary. Here we provide a redescription based on our material (Appendix 1).
