COMMENTS.— Böhme and de Pury (2011) discussed the allocation of this species to different genera and presented evidence for its inclusion in Rhagerhis . Most recently, however, Figueroa et al. (2016) presented evidence that R. moilensis was nested within Malpolon and transferred the species back to this genus. Pending further study we here retain it in Rhagerhis .
