A specimen of Lycodon was collected from Hezhang County, Bijie City, Guizhou Province, China during field work in July 2024. Morphological comparison indicated that this specimen closely resembled L. gongshan (Table 2). The phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial Cyt b gene sequences revealed that the specimen from Bijie clustered with those of L. gongshan from Xizang and Yunnan (Fig. 2). Combining these genetic results and the morphological traits, the specimen from Bijie was identified as L. gongshan. This represents the first record for this species in Guizhou Province. The dorsum of this specimen is predominantly dark black, with irregular orange-yellow bands spanning 1﹣2 lines of dorsal scales, presenting a previously unrecorded color type for L. gongshan.
