Remarks:
Includes unilineatus, previously thought to be a Neotropical species (e.g., Peters & Orejas-Miranda 1970; Hahn 1980; McDiarmid, Campbell & Touré 1999). Vanzolini (1986) suggested that unilineatus is not a Neotropical species, but possibly Oriental. Wallach (2003) tentatively synonymized the two nominal species.
