Identification. These thin snakes are sold black dorsally, with 19 rows of strongly keeled scales at midbody. There are 2 postoculars, 8 supralabials, and 10 or 11 infral- abials. The internasal scales are in contact. Males have 154–163 ventrals, whereas females have 161–168. Sub- caudals range from 101–115 in males and 98–111 in fe- males. Synophis lasallei (Nic é foro-Mar í a, 1950), which can be sympatric, has 21 or 22 dorsal scale rows at mid- body ( Torres-Carvajal et al. 2020).
Habitat. Both specimens were found in secondary forest at night. One was on the ground, and the other on a hori- zontal branch about 0.5 m above the substrate.
