Material examined. BANGLADESH • 1 adult; Syl- het Division, Moulvibazar District , Kamalganj Upazila, LNP, trail at Janki Chora; 24°18.76′N, 091°46.67′E; 04 Jul. 2015; 21:22; photo voucher ZRC ( IMG) 2.336 GoogleMaps .

Identification. This is a bright green snake with a long

slender body, elongated arrowhead-like head, and horizontal pupils, distinguished from the similar A. nasuta Lacepède, 1789 and the recently resurrected A. anomala Annandale, 1906 by the lack of a rostral appendage ( Das 2010; Mohapatra et al. 2017).

Habitat. Within LNP, A. prasina was found in all nonaquatic habitats, taking advantage of trees and shrubs with access to sunlight at clearing edges.
