| description | Here we present the first continental record of Tantilla vermiformis Hallowell, 1861 for Honduras. This species is confined almost exclusively to dry and arid lowland forest and is considered as a priority one species in the conservation priority list of endemic species of Central America. This record is the second for the country, after that from Isla Exposición, and represents a northeastern extension of 120 km. The next nearest record to the north-northwest is 250 km distant at Lago Ilopango, in El Salvador, and that to the southeast is 130 km away in the municipality of Chi­nandega, in Nicaragua. |
