Westernmost range boundary and first records of Dryophylax hypoconia (Cope, 1860) (Serpentes, Dipsadidae) from Bolivia

We present the first records of Dryophylax hypoconia (Cope, 1860) from Bolivia and discuss its range in South America. These are currently the westernmost records of this species and extends the known western range by ~900 km from the nearest known range boundary. There is a lack of information for D. hypoconia in the scientific literature, which is largely due to limited sampling across South America and taxonomic uncertainties within this taxon. Our report contributes to the distributional knowledge of this species and summarizes available data from the Bolivian portion of its range.

Abstract

We present the first records of Dryophylax hypoconia (Cope, 1860) from Bolivia and discuss its range in South America. These are currently the westernmost records of this species and extends the known western range by ~900 km from the nearest known range boundary. There is a lack of information for D. hypoconia in the scientific literature, which is largely due to limited sampling across South America and taxonomic uncertainties within this taxon. Our report contributes to the distributional knowledge of this species and summarizes available data from the Bolivian portion of its range.
