Information on the species Helicinia Funcki?

Originaly in spanish.. dosent translate well. Seems to exist in mainly costa Rica. This translates better then I realized and this is a very interesting snake.

Diagnosis: The characteristics that distinguish to S. lamari of the three mainly similar species within the sort ( S. annulatus , S. argus and S. longifrenis ) are the pattern of general color, the labiales grudges that border the orbit of the eye and the size of the head. Fig 2 presents/displays a detail of the aspects dorsal and lateral of the head of S. lamari .

The dorsal pattern in S. lamari externally presents/displays a color of mainly green bottom, combined with a 29-40 design alternating bands and irregular spots of reddish color, bordered in its majority by a slight black tone or irregular dark coffee also (approximately of a quarter, a third or average grudge of wide), sometimes mixed with small white spaces or yellow sure that also they border externally the dark color. On the other hand, the green grudges that conform the interspaces between the reddish bands, profusely are speckled by an irregular series of small points, dark and clear spots or lines (white or yellow clear), sometimes in greater proportion than the green color, and covering sometimes until half of the grudge. Usually, the two first rows of dorsal grudges to each side lack green pigment and are covered with white color (or clear yellow), red black or, in irregular combinations, or with total or partisan proportion of some of these. The back of the head profusely is pigmented with a mixture of red and black, dispersed irregularly, that descend until the grudges nasal, loreal spots green, white (or clear yellow), postocular and temporary. Later to the parietales and approximately on 5 grudges of length, the red color covers most with the peripheral grudges until the postemporales areas. The supralabiales grudges are of clear a yellow tone with half or a third of black color. Also, last or the two last supralabiales can include irregular red pigment. The mental grudge and the first 3 to 5 infralabiales can be black and the others of clear yellow color with irregular presence of black color. In addition, from the red tonality of the last supralabial, the red spots seem to form a solid line continuous line of trenches that it touches or it is united diffusely with the red tonality of the posparietales lateral edges. The eyes are great and of moderately dark red color, whereas the pupil is elliptical vertically or can present/display an irregular morphology. The belly is yellow clear in the central and white part in the lateral parts, to the time that the dorsal red bands are introduced irregularly in the belly forming, in its majority, red alternating spots with dark external edges and, rarely, continuous bands. Also they can irregularly present/display dispersed points or dark spots on the clear parts of the belly. The region subof great volume presents/displays a combination of irregular red and yellow tones.

Look at the link below... the pictures are unreal.

Hey, the sailor's answer is pretty good! Vote for #1.
