Elapidae View in CoL

Bungarus fasciatus (Schneider, 1801) (Fig. 8E): One individual was observed at night on the ground while moving across the road near secondary forest.

Bungarus wanghaotingi Pope, 1928 View in CoL (Fig. 8F): Two individuals were observed near a stream in secondary forest. Previous records of B. multicinctus View in CoL in Copia NR by Le et al. (2009) and in Vietnam by Nguyen et al. (2009) should be re-identified as B. wanghaotingi View in CoL after Chen et al. (2021). Chen et al. (2021) stated that previous records of B. multicinctus View in CoL in Vietnam and southern China should be re-identified as B. wanghaotingi View in CoL . However, these species are difficult to distinguish morphologically. Bungarus wanghaotingi View in CoL differs from B. multicinctus View in CoL by having fewer light cross bands on the body and tail (20–31 and 7–11 versus 31–40 on the body and 9–17 on the tail in B. multicinctus View in CoL , respectively). The specimens from Copia NR have 25–26 and seven light cross bands on the body and tail, respectively.

Naja atra Cantor, 1842 View in CoL (Fig. 8G): Two individuals were observed during the daytime on the ground near bamboo bush in secondary forest.

Sinomicrurus macclellandi (Reinhardt, 1844) (Fig. 8H): One individual was observed at night on the ground while moving near a forest trail in evergreen forest.
