| synonyms_ref =[2] }}Plagiopholis styani, also known by the common name Chinese mountain snake, is a species of colubrid snake. Its type locality is Kuatun (Guadun in modern spelling: {{zh|s=挂墩|p=guàdūn}}) in Wuyishan, Fujian.[2] It is found in southern and central China, Taiwan, and northern Vietnam.[1] It is an uncommon species,[1] and very rare in Taiwan. It is named after Frederick William Styan, a Shanghai-based English tea merchant and ornithologist.[3][4] DescriptionPlagiopholis styani is a small non-venomous snake, reaching a total length of up to {{convert|40|cm|abbr=on}}. Its upper head, body and tail are red-brown, olive-brown, or green-brown, with flecks of pink or black pigment on each scale, especially for those on the flanks of body. The upper body and tail have a spotted pattern of black or light yellow. There is a dark and thick cross band on nape, reflected in its Chinese name, Fujian neck-blotched snake ({{zh|t=福建頸斑蛇}}).[3]Habitat and ecologyPlagiopholis styani occur in areas of montane and bamboo forest, including caves.[1] It is a nocturnal snake that eats mainly earthworms and arthropods; it uses its head to burrow. Females produce clutches of 5–11 eggs in summer.[3]References1. ^1 2 3 {{Cite journal | author = Vogel G | author2 = Guo P | author3 = Lau M | author4 = Li P |last-author-amp=yes | title = Plagiopholis styani | journal = The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species | volume = 2012 | page = e.T177442A1486765 | publisher = IUCN | date = 2012 | url = http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/177442/0 | doi = 10.2305/IUCN.UK.2012-1.RLTS.T177442A1486765.en | access-date = 11 January 2018}} 2. ^1 {{NRDB species|genus=Plagiopholis|species=styani|accessdate=10 June 2014}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web | year=2009–2010 |author=Breuer, Hans |author2=Murphy, William Christopher |last-author-amp=yes |url=http://www.snakesoftaiwan.com/Plagiopholis%20styani/species_plagiopholis_styani.htm |title=Plagiopholis styani |work=Snakes of Taiwan }} 4. ^Beolens, Bo; Watkins, Michael; Grayson, Michael (2011).
