Colubridae

Elaphe Fitzinger, 1833

The genus is represented in Mongolia by E. dione (Pallas, 1773) and possibly by E. schrenckii (Strauch, 1873) ( ANANJEVA et al. 1997, TERBISH et al. 2006). Elaphe dione is widely distributed over most of Mongolia ( TERBISH et al. 2006).

All six specimens collected during Kaszab’s expeditions correspond to E. dione (see Fig. 8 and Appendix).
