Dwarf Sand Boa: Eryx miliaris (Pallas 1773) (Boidae) ( Plate 24) *Regional range extension

A less widely-distributed species than E. tataricus . Eryx miliaris is largely confined to Central Asia, with its range extending slightly into Iran and southern European Russia. An uncommon species in our study area, it was detected about as frequently, and in similar habitats to, E. tataricus . Our records of this species constitute a regional range extension. BirdLife International (2016d) noted its presence at Lake Tudakul, but none of our consulted sources indicate the species to occur in Karnabchul or the northern steppe areas where we have detected it.
