DISTRIBUTION AND RANGE EXTENSION OF THE ELEGANT CORALSNAKE, MICRURUS ELEGANS

摘要

We reviewed museum collections and the literature and found that published sources underreport the locality-level distribution of the elegant coralsnake, Micrurus elegans, a species known from Mexico and Guatemala. Here, we present 42 localities for M. elegans, announce a northwestern range extension, and briefly discuss the morphology and conservation of this species.
