Atractus Wagler, 1828 and Atractus trilineatus Wagler, 1828 (Reptilia, Serpentes): conserved
Abstract

The Commission has conserved the generic name Atractus Wagler, 1828 for a group of common Neotropical snakes by suppressing its senior objective synonym Brachyura Kuhl & van Hasselt, 1822. In addition, the name Atractus trilineatus Wagler, 1828, the specific name of the type species of Atractus, has been given precedence over its senior objective synonym Brachyorrhos kuhli Schlegel, 1826.
