A species of Liopholidophis having 17-17-15 dorsal scale rows; tail 39- 44% total length and 140-164 subcaudals in males; and a black venter with a mar- ginal white stripe, a black stripe at the suture between the ventral plates and dor- sal row 1, but no lateral stripe involving rows 2-3. Liopholidophis dolicocercus differs from sexlineatus, where it has been synony-.
