Abstract

This study provides the first morphological data from a female specimen of the recently described Stoliczkia vanhnuailianai from Mizoram, Northeast India. Based on a new individual collected from a stream habitat around 80 km northwards from the type locality, we provide an expanded summary of diagnostic key characters of the species, additional notes on the habitat, and new genetic data for this rare snake.
