Chilabothrus striatus, the Hispaniolan boa, is a species of snake in the family Boidae.[3] The species is endemic to Hispaniola (split between Haiti and the Dominican Republic). The species is regularly found in the international pet trade.[1]
Subspecies
Three subspecies are recognized, including the nominate subspecies.[4]
- Chilabothrus striatus exagistus Sheplan & Schwartz, 1974 – Tiburon Peninsula boa
- Chilabothrus striatus striatus (J.G. Fischer, 1856) – Hispaniolan or Dominican red mountain boa
- Chilabothrus striatus warreni Sheplan & Schwartz, 1974 – Tortuga boa
Nota bene: A trinomial authority in parentheses indicates that the subspecies was originally described in a genus other than Chilabothrus.
Etymology
The subspecific name, warreni, is in honor of C. Rhea Warren who collected herpetological specimens on Île de la Tortue.[5]
