Remarks. – A single juvenile (SVL 97 mm ) matches Wallach’s (2001) diagnosis reasonably well in having the preocular scale separate from the nasal scale; inferior nasal suture contacting the second supralabial; two postoculars; 28 midbody scale rows reducing to 24 posteriorly; eight rows of subcaudal scales; eye distinct with a pupil; parietals twice as broad as deep; and a gradual, lateral transition between the opaquely purple dorsal coloration (specimen nearly ready to shed) and the cream-colored venter. It differs from Wallach’s (2001) diagnosis in having 383 total middorsal scales as opposed to 298–341 ( Wallach, 2001:40 ; n = 6). In this regard, it falls within the range of T. muelleri (298–402), which has been reported from the central Cardamoms (Stuart & Emmett, 2006). Although this is the first record of this species from Cambodia , it has been reported to range from India to Thailand and Vietnam (see David & Vogel, 1996) so its occurrence in Cambodia is not unexpected. The specimen was dug up from a garden by a villager.
