Eristicophis macmahoni Alcock and Finn, 1897:564 View in CoL , pl. XV
1897 “1896” Eristicophis macmahonii Alcock and Finn, An account of the Reptilia collected by Dr. F.P. Maynard, Captain A.H. McMahon, C.I.E., and the members of the Afghan-Baluch Boundary Comission of 1896. Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal 65:550–566, pls. XI–XV.
SYNTYPES.— ZSI 14179–84 , from “Amirchah, 3300 feet elevation;” “Zeh, 2500 feet elevation;” “Drana Koh;” and “Robat I., 4300 feet elevation.”
LOCALITIES.— 10 km NE of Darweshan (CAS 120504); 40 km W of Kandahar (MZUF 24165) [see pl. 14, fig. 3 for distribution].
REMARKS.— Clark (1990) mentioned two specimens from Darweshan, but only one is catalogued in the CAS collection. The whereabouts of the other specimen is unknown. One of the two specimens was found in the morning on sand surface, the other one dead on firmer dune margins, thus suggesting that the latter one may not have been collected .
