Sharptail Snake
Contia tenuis  (Baird & Girard, 1852)
Taxonomic Comments:
  • Feldman & Spicer (2002 Journal of Herpetology 36(4): 648-655), using mtDNA, presented evidence that this taxon consists of two distinct evolutionary lineages, a northern coastal species and an interior southern species; they decline to formally recognize them pending additional research.
