Abstract
A snake species new to science, Rhynchocalamus barani n. sp., is described from Turkey. It differs from other Rhynchocalamus species in having higher numbers of dorsalia ( 17 instead of 15) and lower number of ventralia ( 163 - 173 instead of 180 - 240) and upper labials in contact with eye ( 1 instead of 2) and by a characteristic color-pattern of the body.
