Identification. We distinguished L. zawi from other wolf snakes in LNP by its 17 smooth midbody scale rows, dark-brown dorsum with 18–22 narrow and widely separated white bands without intervening reticulations or crossbands, nine supralabials ( IV and V contacting orbit), 1–2 preoculars, loreal scale not in contact with internasal or orbit, and lack of pale collar on the neck or nape ( Slowinski et al. 2001).

Habita t. This species appeared most frequently in mature forest, although we found some road-killed specimens in degraded forest.
