}}Leptophis diplotropis, commonly known as the Pacific Coast parrot snake, is a species of snake in the family Colubridae.[3] The species is endemic to Mexico.[1]

Geographic range

The geographic range of L. diplotropis in Mexico extends from southwestern Chihuahua and southern Sonora to southeastern Oaxaca.

Subspecies

There are two recognized subspecies, including the nominate race.

  • Leptophis diplotropis diplotropis {{small|(Günther, 1872)}}
  • Leptophis diplotropis forreri {{small|H.M. Smith, 1943}}

Nota bene: A trinomial authority in parentheses indicates that the subspecies was originally described in a genus other than Leptophis.

Etymology

The subspecific name, forreri, is in honor of Alphonse Forrer (1836-1899), an English-born collecter of zoological specimens in Mexico for the British Museum.[4]

Habitat

L. diplotropis is found in tropical dry forest, semi-deciduous forest, mangrove forest, oak forest and wet forest, from sea level up to {{convert|1600|m|ft|abbr=on}}. It is a highly adaptable species, which is also found in disturbed areas.[1]
