Southwestern Black-headed Snake
Tantilla hobartsmithi
Taylor, 1937
Current SSAR Comments:
The name was changed to “Smith’s Black-headed Snake” starting with the 7th edition (2012). “Southwestern” confers some geographic information about its range, and therefore we are returning to the previous name.
Range maps are based on curated specimens and provided gratis by CNAH.
