1869 Psammophis leithii Günther, Report on two collections of Indian reptiles. Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London 1869:500–507.
HOLOTYPE.— BMNH 1946.1.2. 82 (formerly 1869.8.28. 124), from “ Sind.”
LOCALITIES.— Afghanistan [without detailed locality] ( ZFMK 8650); 8 km ESE Jalalabad, direction to Sarsahi ( MMB 28496) [see pl. 13, fig. 5 for distribution].
REMARKS.— Sclater (1891:50) mentioned one specimen ( ZSI 11421 ) as “ Psammophis leithii ” from “Chaman, S. Afghanistan ”, which was donated by “ J.A. Murray ”. While it was not possible to locate this place in Afghanistan , it seems most probable that it refers to Chaman, a locality just across the Afghan-Pakistan border in present-day Pakistan.
