Psammophis punctulatus Duméril, Bibron, and Duméril, 1854

Vouchers: NMK-S4604 (field no. SK1113)

Records: AB ( R), KF (museum headquarters) Remarks:Thiscommondiurnalsnakeiswidelydistributed. We found one adult and one juvenile individual in Koobi Fora and Alia Bay in the vegetation along the riverbed and in the Koobi Fora camp, both in April. The large adult individual ( Fig. 4V) was feeding on a weaver bird when found ( Kirchhof et al. 2018). The currently accepted subspecies P. p. punctulatus and P. p. trivirgatus (to which the SNP specimens were assigned) seem to be parapatric and morphologically distinguishable, and they might both prove to be full species in the future .
