This species, when found on the mainland, ordinarily has two 

 anterior temporals, and Barbour's original series of Alsophis bntesi 

 from near St. George's, Grenada, had " a large anterior temporal 

 with alrriost always a small scale intercalated above it, anteriorly ". In 

 all of the National Museum specimens listed above — three of them 

 from the Grenadines and two from Grenada — there is but one anterior 

 temporal, and the intercalated small scale is lacking in every instance.
