| Oligodon annamensis Leviton, 1953 in Lee, 2022. |
Abstract
I report the first documentation of the rare Kukri Snake species Oligodon annamensis Leviton, 1953 from Thailand based on a previously unidentified specimen collected in 1987 from the tropical rain forests of Chanthaburi Province, southeastern Thailand. This species was previously known from only four specimens collected at three localities in the Langbian Plateau of southern Vietnam and the Cardamom Mountains of western Cambodia. This new specimen extends the distribution of O. annamensis approximately 90.4 kilometers northwest from the nearest location in Phnom Samkos Wildlife Sanctuary, Pursat Province, Cambodia.
