Eryx colubrinus (Linnaeus, 1758) View in CoL
Material: Three specimens.
Localities: Cissia (1), Tarka Dakouara (2).
Literature records: Agadez, Tabello ( Villiers 1950 a, 1950b, Papenfuss 1969); Aïr ( Kriska 2001).
Remarks: In Niger this species was known from Aïr Mountains and Tamesna, i.e., 300 km north of Tarka Dakouara and Cissia, but not from the southern part of the country. Since Cissia is only 60 km from northeastern Nigeria and shares similar sahelian vegetation, our data suggest that this species may also reach this country where it has never been mentioned.
