Comment: Amaral, Mem. Inst. Butantan, 4, I925, 23, suggested that this taxon is probably identical 

 with L ioph I s braz i 1 i Amaral, I525, but he has continued to use the latter name. He did not use 

 frenata for the taxon in his list of Neotropical Ophidia (i.e., 17l)> although he put it in the 

 genus L i oph i s and also in the synonymy of braz i 1 i . with a question mark.
