description: <i>Coniophanes fissidens</i> (Günther, 1858): Figure 12D <i>Coronella fissidens</i> Günther 1858: 36. <i>Coniophanes fissidens</i> — Pérez-Santos and Moreno 1988: 127. <b>Material examined.</b> Table 2. <i>Erythrolamprus epinephelus</i> (Cope, 1862): Figure 12E <i>Liophis epinephalus</i> Cope 1862: 78. <i>Erythrolamprus epinephelus</i> — Grazziotin et al. 2012: 21. <b>Material examined.</b> Table 2. <i>Erythrolamprus melanotus</i> (Shaw, 1802): Figure 12F <i>Coluber melanotus</i> Shaw 1802: 534. <i>Erythrolamprus melanotus</i> — Grazziotin et al. 2012: 21. This medium-sized species may be recognized by having 17-17-15 smooth dorsal scale rows. Its dorsal ground color is light brown and yellowish, with 3 dorsal dark brown lines that extend from the neck to the tail. The 2 more lateral lines, running along the fourth and fifth dorsal rows, begin as series of points and the vertebral line one is about 5 scale rows wide (Dixon and Michaud 1992). Ventral coloration is white or light yellow (Dixon and Michaud 1992). The most similar sympatric species is <i>Erythrolamprus epinephelus</i>, which differs in having a grayish ground color with mainly transversal blotches or bands, 2 lateral dark lines that begin only in the posterior portion of the body extending to the tail, and frequently a reddish to yellowish venter with black blotches (Dixon 1983). <i>Erythrolamprus pseudocorallus</i> Roze, 1959: Figure 12G <i>Erythrolamprus pseudocorallus</i> Roze 1959: 530. <b>Material examined.</b> Table 2. <i>Imantodes cenchoa</i> (Linnaeus, 1758): Figure 12H <i>Coluber cenchoa</i> Linnaeus 1758: 226. <b>Material examined.</b> Table 2.
