 1903 Rhinodryas Kon i q i Werner. Abh. Bayerischen Akad., 22: 3^4, fig. Type-locality; Rosario, 

 Argentina (province not mentioned). 



Distribution: Chaco, Santiago de Estero, Salta, Tucuman and Catamarca, Argentina. 



Comment: Serie described Ph ilodryas baron i var. fusco-flavescens (An. Mus. Nac. Buenos Aires, 26, 

 1514, 228, pi. ), with the type-locality Salta, Argentina, and a paratype from Tucuman, Argentina. 

 Insofar as we can determine, the range of the variety is the same as the nominate form, both as 

 given by Serie in later papers, and in Abalos et al. Acta Zool. Lilloana, 20, 1964, 26I. It seems 

 clear that this does not represent a subspecies as usually recognized by herpetolog i sts.
