บทคัดย่อ :
The original descriptions in Thai of Dryocalamus davisonii tungsongensis
Nutphand, 1986 and Lycodon suratensis Nutphand, 1986 (Serpentes: Colubridae) are
translated into English. The taxonomic position of these two taxa is discussed. We
place the first taxon in the synonymy of Dryocalamus subannulatus (Dumeril, Bibron
& Dumeril, 1854) and the second one in the synonymy of Lycodon subcinctus subcinctus
Boie, 1827. Their types being lost, we designate a neotype for each taxon in order to fix
their status.
