 i960 [ Atractus ] subb i c i nctum — Savage. Misc. Publ. Mus. Zool. Univ. Mich., 112: 83. 



Distribution: Known only from type material. 



Comment: This taxon was not mentioned in the literature until Savage, loc. cit., included it in his 

 list of the nominal species of Atractus . No author discussing A, bad i us has indicated that 

 subspecies are recognized, so it would appear to be necessary to list the taxon here as a species, 

 although it has never been so defined in the literature.
