    Abstract:

    Calamaria jinggangensis was described from Jiangxi Province, China by Cai et al. 2023, based on 5 road-killed specimens. In June 2023, one male snake specimen of the genus Calamaria was collected in Rongjiang County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, China (26°06′48″ N, 108°38′01″ E, altitude 1 080 m) during a field survey. After external morphological (Fig. 1, 2) and morphometric measurements examination, the specimen from Rongjiang County was similar to C. jinggangensis. Molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed that the uncorrected pairwise distances (p-distance) between the specimen and C. jinggangensis were about 0.85% (Table 1).The new discovery in the present study was the first record of C. jinggangensis in Guizhou Province, China, which expands the distribution area, and enriches the morphological data of the species.
