Wadi Racer: Platyceps rhodorachis (Jan 1865) View in CoL (Colubridae) ( Plate 26 View Plate 26 )

A widely but disjunctively distributed species, found in east Africa, Arabia, Iran, Central Asia, and the northern Indian sub-continent. It appears to be rare in our study area, being known from a single predated and partially consumed individual (see Plate 26 View Plate 26 ) found on the northern border of the Karnabchul steppe, close to a range of rocky foothills, on 17 May 2012. The species has been previously mapped as occurring in our study area ( Bannikov 1971; Sindaco et al. 2011).
