A-E). The vertebral centrum is cylindrical. In lateral view, the interzygapophyseal ridges are moderately developed. The completely preserved neural spine is about twice as long as high. Its cranial margin is inclined anteriorly whereas the caudal margin is inclined posteriorly. The small lateral foramina are situated in shallow depressions. The well-developed subcentral ridges are arched dorsally. In dorsal view, the prezygapophyseal articular facets are almost oval.The prezygapophyseal processes are about two thirds of the prezygapophyseal facets length. The cranial margin of the mostly damaged zygosphene has developed a wide medial lobe and small lateral lobes. The epizygapophyseal spines are absent. In ventral view, the hypapophysis expands laterally in a cranial direction to form a triangular anterior keel. The very small subcentral foramina are situated on both sides of the hypapophysis.In cranial view, the neural arch is slightly vaulted, and the neural canal is rounded with short lateral sinuses. The parapophyseal processes are separated from the rounded cotyle by deep furrows.The paracotylar foramina are situated on both sides of the cotyle. The left paracotylar foramen is doubled in Pal. 1968. The small paracotylar tubercles occur at the ventral margin of the cotyle. The vertebral dimensions of the figured specimen (Pal. 1968) are as follows: cl =

Assignment to the “natricine” snakes is based on the presence of hypapophyses in precloacal vertebrae, the vaulted neural arch, the high neural spine, and the presence of paracotylar foramina on either side of the cotyle. The most complete vertebra with laterally directed prezygapophyses, an elongated centrum with a triangular anterior keel on the hypapophysis, and a neural spine inclined both anteriorly and posteriorly permit identification of the preserved vertebrae to the genus
