complex. This is another example of a supposedly widespread species that, upon closer examination, proves to be a species complex. A similar situation in other taxa would represent a greater underestimation of diversity in the ophidian fauna of the Oriental region than currently appreciated, a topic that requires further investigation. Centers of endemicity can be overlooked by inaccurate and/or imprecise taxonomies, which may lead to dire consequences in nature conservation, especially for taxa less well studied than vertebrates.
