recorded four specimens of this species from the same area localities (Jask), but they have presented neither morphological data nor descriptions of the specimens. Furthermore, their specimens were not deposited in any public museum or collection and we

||
<normalizedToken originalValue="couldn’t">couldn't</normalizedToken>
|
||
find them for further morphological examination. Regarding the single specimen examined herein, the shape of the fangs was found to be unique: elongated fangs markedly protruding outside the lower jaw when mouth is closed. This unusual characteristic could be age-dependent or likely a specific character which was overlooked by other authors. Further studies on this specimen are much recommended.
