compiled from kelly richers ' california moth specimen database . kelly has been compiling the database since 1996 from literature sources , museum collections , and ( i believe ) novel collections . these lists are probably not comprehensive ( if such a thing is possible for such a diverse group of organisms ) , but given kelly ' s dedication and the degree of sampling in the state , it ' s probably pretty close at the state and regional level , and approaching that state at the county level . all errors are my own , and if you find any , please let me know .

the species name alcalai was chosen to honor the naturalist a . c . alcala , who made significant contributions to herpetology in the philippines . [ 3 ]
the international union for conservation of nature considers lycodon alcalai to be a species of least concern , based on a survey in 2007 . the islands that it inhabits are well protected , have very few inhabitants , and do not experience anthropogenic environmental disturbances such as hunting or logging . [ 1 ]
nota bene : a binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than lycodon .
philippines ( lubang , luzon , mindoro , polillo ) alcalai : negros , cebu , panay ; type locality : ridge on the north side of the maite river , 5 km west of valencia .
siler et al . ( 2013 ) concluded that dinodon species are nested within the lycodon tree and noted that dinodon ( the more recently described genus ) should therefore be treated as a junior synonym of lycodon . based on their own molecular phylogenetic studies , guo et al . ( 2013 ) also suggested that dinodon should be synonymized with lycodon . lei et al . ( 2014 ) also found that dinodon species are nested within lycodon . based on molecular phylogenetic and morphological analyses , lei et al . further concluded that oligodon multizonatum ( an endemic species known from sichuan and possibly gansu provinces in china ) actually falls within lycodon as well .

lycodon is among the most species - rich genera of asiatic colubrids , with more than three dozen described species , including numerous small - island endemics ( phylogenetic analyses by siler et al . [ 2013 ] suggest . that some of these island endemics in the phillipines may not warrant recognition as full speciies , but also suggest the presence of substantial cryptic diversity , indicating that the true number of lycodon species may be greater than currently recognized ) . lycodon species occur throughout central to southeast asia , from regions east of the caspian sea , eastern iran and india to southern china , the indo - australian archipelago , the ryukyu islands of japan and the philippines ( lanza 1999 ; siler et al . 2013 ) .

regarding inferences about the historical biogeography of lycodon , siler et al . ( 2013 ) note that with few exceptions , the results observed in their study are consistent with many of the biogeographic expectations for vertebrates in asia and the philippines ( see siler et al . 2013 for details and discussion ) .

the species prefers lowland habitats , not being found more than 320 meters above sea level . [ 1 ] it is frequently found in shrubs or on the forest floor , as well as at the edge of the forest , and occasionally in adjacent agricultural fields . it is thought to feed on the eggs of other reptiles , by slitting them open with its blade - like teeth .

the phylogenetic results of siler et al . ( 2013 ) provide evidence of deeply divergent lineages within some taxa ( l . effraensis , l . subcinctus ) that may represent cryptic species . some of the lineage diversity revealed appears to correspond to taxonomic entities previously identified ( currently recognized as subspecies or synonyms ) and some does not . on the other hand , as noted above , genetic results suggest that species diversity within several clades may be overestimated , rather than underestimated , by current taxonomic treatments . between these two extremes lie species with moderate genetic structure observed among populations ( l . muelleri , l . aulicus complex ) .

the species is known only from the single juvenile type specimen collected at gyobyu , taikkyi township , pegu ( = bago ) district , myanmar ( smith 1943 ) . this area has been intensively surveyed recently but the species has not been recovered ( g . wogan pers . comm . 2011 ) .
