2 NEW SPECIES OF COLUBRID SNAKES OF THE GENUS CLELIA FROM BRAZIL

Two new species of Clelia are described from Brazil: Clelia quimi sp n ., from southern, southeastern, and west-central Brazil, and Clelia mo ntana sp. n., which is probably restricted to the highlands of northwe stern Sao Paulo and southern Minas Gerais. Clelia quimi appears to be closely related to C. bicolor, being distinguished from the latter by the number of ventral scales and the color of the supralabials. Clelia montana sp. n. seems allied to C. rustica, differing from the latter by the numbers of supra-and infralabials and the generalized color pat tern.
