Diagnosis
Helicops danieli is readily distinguished from its congeners by its unique colour pattern, namely a spotted dorsum in combination with a ventral pattern consisting of two rows of semi-lunar marks on a light background (for information on references see, Suppl. material 3).
Distribution
Helicops danieli is only occurring in Colombia, where it seems to be found mainly west of the Andes. There is a report from the lowland in the east near the Brazilian border ( Yuki and Castano 1998, Fig. 1 e). Specimen ZMB 9490 has the country-level locality Brazil without further precision.
