dc:description"FIGURE 12. Distributions of Dendrophidion clarkii and D. rufiterminorum in southern Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Guayacán and San Luis valley are the only known instances of sympatry. All known localities are plotted. Closed symbols are localities documented by specimens; open symbols are photographic records except for the open circle on the Pacific versant (a reliable sight record); see text for details. Numbered localities for D. rufiterminorum are mentioned in its species account: 1, Río San Juan (Nicaragua); 2, La Selva Biological Station; 3, Poco Sol; 4, Reserva San Ramón.";

Labeled localities in Costa Rica (San Luis and Guayacán) are documented localities of sympatry between the two species. A few localities in Costa Rica and Panama are based on photographic records (see Fig. 12 and text).";
