from St. Lucia have 188-196 ventrals and 82-89 subcaudals. The 

 Cuban Dromicus cursor of Bibron (in R. de la Sagra) is a distinct 

 but allied species, Liophis andrece, R. & L., recently renamed 

 Dromicus cubensis by Garman. These two forms cannot be 

 generically separated from Liophis, Wagl. (type L. regince., L.). The 

 genus Dromicus, Bibr., of which 1 take D. angulifer, Bibr., to be the 

 type, may be distinguished by its enlarged anterior mandibular teeth.
