Silybura canarica Beddome, 1870: 170 View in CoL .
TYPE MATERIAL. — Six syntypes: BMNH 1874.4.29.940-943 (= 1946.1.15.95-98), BMNH 1872.1.2.3 (= 1946.1.16.71), and MNHN-RA-1895.102.
TYPE LOCALITY. — Mt. Kudremukh, Karnataka state, India.
DISTRIBUTION. — India; known only from type locality, Mt. Kudremukh in the Kudremuk hills, at elevations> 1800 m (see Beddome 1886; Smith 1943; Wallach et al. 2014; Ganesh 2015).
DESCRIPTION
Maximum total length c. 430 mm, ventrals 172-188, subcaudals 6-13 (see Beddome 1886; Smith 1943). Color pattern somewhat similar to Plectrurus aureus , with purplish-brown dorsum (scales lighter in the center), and small yellow blotches extending onto the dorsum ventrolaterally (more obvious anteriorly).
REMARK
This species is known only from the syntypes, and has apparently not been collected since 1870, based on a lack of published reports or specimens.
No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009. Taxonomic information exchange and copyright: the Plazi approach. BMC Research Notes 2009, 2:53 for further explanation.
