In the Herpetological Museum of the Chengdu Institute of Biology(CIB),Chinese Academy of Sciences,the snake type specimens represent 11 species in 10 genera and three families(Xenopeltidae,Xenodermatidae and Colubridae). As a series of reports on the type specimens of Amphibia and Reptilia deposited in the Herpetological Museum of CIB,this paper focuses on the serpent families excluding Viperidae in the collections at this Museum.展开更多
