 bilineatus Say. Ind. The type locality would presumably have been southwestern Ind. The 



original description gives the length of bilineatus as "seven-twentieths of an inch," but 

 because the additional remarks of Say (1836) seem to confirm placement of this species 

 in Ophion, that measurement was presumably an error for seven-tenths of an inch.

 indicated. No type specimen is known to remain in existence.
