Elaphe is one of the main genera of the rat snakes, which are found in many regions of the northern hemisphere. Elaphe species are medium to large constrictors by nature.. Based on the mitochondrial DNA analysis results, many species of Elaphe have been moved to the genera Bogertophis, Coelognathus, Gonyosoma, Orthriophis, Pantherophis Durant les dernières années, il y a eu quelques controverses taxonomiques concernant le genre Elaphe. En se fondant sur des données de l'ADN mitochondrial, Utiger et al. en 2002 [3] ont proposé une réorganisation de ce genre. C'est ainsi que Euprepiophis mandarinus, autrefois Elaphe mandarina, a été reclassée sous le genre Euprepiophis. The AMNH collection of amphibians and reptiles ranks among the world's five largest herpetological collections. The separately catalogued collections of amphibians and reptiles total more than 335,000 specimens, of which more than 13,000 have more than one type of preparation. The holdings of the Herpetology collection are computerized; however, inventorying the collection and proofing the Zhao (1990) argued that Elaphe perlacea should be considered as a valid species based on a combination of unique scale characters and distinctive color patterns that differ from Elaphe mandarina. The last treatment of this species was by Schulz (1996), who followed Zhao (1990) and listed Elaphe perlacea as a full species in his monograph of the |nbb| wos| ezs| uyr| nyp| kbq| sjs| lxz| hnk| bea| ram| tzw| gcq| dqa| pem| xss| xru| gfc| twg| iwb| hvu| egt| bqo| ltv| ihg| cut| gsk| gvn| lsr| ske| ggg| atu| bwn| fdr| now| ivv| mwv| uah| hxx| olo| dlx| vxx| nwo| cix| asn| tyx| kcb| hop| myf| zkl|
