Psammophis aegyptius Marx, 1958 View in CoL

Material: Three specimens.

Localities: Korri Solomi (1), Adrar Bous (1, BEV coll.), Oued Er Roui (1, MNHN coll.).

Literature records: Agadez ( Villiers 1950 a, 1950b, Papenfuss 1969, as Psammophis schokari ); cliff of Tiguidit ( Dragesco-Joffé 1993, as Psammophis schokari ), Termit ( Ineich et al. 2014).

Remarks: It is unclear if P. schokari also occurs in Niger (see Dragesco-Joffé 1993), but all specimens we examined had the high number of ventrals of P. aegyptius ( Trape and Mané 2006b) .
