Mountain Patch-nosed Snake
Salvadora grahamiae
Baird and Girard, 1853
SSAR 9th Edition Comments:
The elevation of S. g. lineata leaves Salvadora grahamiae without subspecies. The standardized English name of the former subspecies S. g. grahamiae “Mountain Patch-nosed Snake” replaces the former species name for S. grahamiae “Eastern Patch-nosed Snake”
Page 50: In the second sentence, "S. g. grahamiae" should be italicized. — (4/10/2025)
