Description
Crotaphopeltis hippocrepis (Reinhardt, 1843)
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — 5 specimens (MNHN 2006.2204 - 2206, Nangbeto; GHS-W 1284, Diguingue, T 131, Fazao).
MORPHOLOGY. — TL of our specimens from 350 to 825 mm; 19-20 MSR, scales smooth; 168-191 Ven, smooth; 45-52 subcaudals, paired; anal single; 8 supralabials; 9 infralabials; 1 preocular, 2 postoculars; temporal scale formula: 1 + 2.
