Spotted Whipsnake: Hemorrhois ravergieri (Mènètries 1832) (Colubridae) ( Plate 28) *Regional range extension

Distributed in Turkey, the Caucasus, Iran, Central Asia, and western China. It is a rare species in our study area, known from a single record of an individual observed in open steppe habitat on 11 May 2011 in our northern steppe study area. This record represents a regional range extension for H. ravergieri . The species is not mapped as occurring in central Uzbekistan by Bannikov (1971) and Sindaco et al. (2011), and while its presence has been noted in the Lake Tudakul area (Bird- Life 2016d), it does not appear to have been previously reported as occurring further north in Uzbekistan.
