Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Darren Pietersen
Comment:   Part of the Boaedon fuliginosus species complex. Current species delineations (i.e. B. capensis and B. fuliginosus) do not match genetic clades, thus all will be treated as B. capensis until this is resolved.
