摘要：

The colubrid snake genus Pseudoxyrhopus includes nine species endemic to Madagascar. A 10th species, P. analabe, is described from a single specimen collected in primary rain forest at 1050-m elevation on the western slopes of Anjanaharibe-Sud Mountain in northern Madagascar. Pseudoxyrhopus analabe differs from all other Pseudoxyrhopus in having all undivided subcaudal scales; it also has an undivided cloacal plate, a condition known for only one other species within the genus, P. tritaeniatus.
