Bungarus fasciatus Found in Southwest Guizhou Province,China
In July 2021,a snake specimen belonging to the genus Bungarus was collected from Zhexiang Town,Wangmo County,Guizhou Province(106°09′15″ E,24°59′36″ N,altitude 485 m).After detailed morphological comparison and molecular systematic analysis,the specimen was identified as B.fasciatus,which is a new snake record in Guizhou Province,China.Morphologically,we mainly compared diagnosis characters and measurement data(Fig.1).Phylogenetically,we constructed Bayesian inference(BI)and maximum likelihood(ML)phylogenetic trees based on mitochondrial Cyt b gene sequences.The ML and BI trees presented almost consistent topology,both showed that the new specimen from Guizhou was clustered with the B.fasciatus form Guangdong and Yunnan Provinces(0.99/96,BPP/BSP)(Fig.2),and the genetic distance between them were from 0.2％to 0.9％.
