Remarks.
The False Cobra is a common species inhabiting the deserts of Arabia ( Gasperetti 1988). In the Eastern Province, it was reported from several localities ( Haas 1957; Mandeville 1967; Gasperetti 1988; Al-Sadoon 2010; Aloufi et al. 2023). It was collected from Batina Island near Al Jubail ( Martens 1996).
