PITUOPHIS LINEAT ICOLLIS (Cope) 



1861 Arizona 1 i neat i coll i s Cope, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1861: 300- Type-locality: Given 

 as "Mexico" in original description, but Cope later (Ann. Rept. U. S. Nat. Mus., I898 

 [1900], 861) said it came from "Jalapa". Stull, BuU. U. S. Nat. Mus., I75, 1540, 52, 

 said this was probably Jalapa, Oaxaca, but Smith and Taylor, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., I87, 

 1945, 108, gave it as Jalapa, Veracruz, with no explanation. Duellman, Univ. Kansas Publ. 

 Mus. Nat. Hist., 10, I96O, 6O7, designated a neotype, thus fixing the type locality as 

 24 km northwest of Ciudad Oaxaca, Oaxaca, Mexico.
