Abstract

The taxonomic status of Micrurus filiformis is reevaluated employing a statistical framework. Micrurus filiformis subtilis is maintained in the synonymy of M. filiformis, based on the results of quantitative and qualitative analyses. Further, geographical variation of meristic, morphometric, and hemipenis characters are described. The holotype of Micrurus filiformis is redescribed.
