Abstract

Kaiser et al. (2018) recently presented a comprehensive history of snakes in the genus Stegonotus Duméril et al., 1854 that included substantial taxonomic revisions. Given the scope and production of this work a few issues remained uncorrected during several proof stages, which we correct herein. Furthermore, after the paper was published some relevant information emerged that we do not want to leave unexposed, and which we hereby add to our discussion.
