 BY G. A. BOULENGER , F. R. S. 



Ophiodes g-rilli. 



Closely allied to 0. sfrialus, but azygos praefrontal in contact 

 with the second supraocular, the first being thus separated from 

 the frontal. Interparietal a little broader than the parietals, a 

 little narrower than the frontal. Only the first of the larger paired 

 chin-shields in contact with the lower labials. Scales in 30 rows 

 in the anterior part of the body, in 27 rows in the middle. Ver- 

 tebral region (four scales and two halves in front, three and two 

 halves in the middle) pale brown, bordered by two dark brown, 

 black-edged stripes (one scale and two halves wide) , on the outer 

 side of which a greenish-white, black-edged streak runs; sides 

 greenish-grey ; lower parts yellowish white ; upper surface of head 

 brown; upper lip and temple greenish white with black vertical 

 bars. 



From snout to vent, 170 millim. ; tail 230. 



A single specimen from Curityba, Parana, Brazil, obtained by 

 Dr. G. Franco Grillo in 1903. 



Elapomovplriis speg'azzinii. 



Rostral as deep as broad, the portion visible from above as 

 long as its distance from the frontal and widely separating the 

 internasals ; praefrontal single ; frontal once and a half as long as 

 broad, as long as its distance from the end of the snout, much 

 shorter than the parietals, which are twice as long as broad; one 

 prae- and two postoculars ; temporals 1 + 1 ; six upper labials , 

 second and third entering the eye; four lower labials in contact 

 with the anterior chin-shields , which are longer than the posterior.
