Abstract

Taeniophallus nicagus (Colubridae) was first listed in Suriname from the Brownsberg Nature Park in 1976. Additional specimens were collected in that same year at Raleighvallen Nature Reserve on the bank of the Coppename River. Two additional locations for this species along with morphological data are provided in this paper. Apart from the number of infralabial scales, all specimens are unambiguously identified as T. nicagus. Presently this species is only known from the central part of Suriname.
