Content of the dipsadid genus has changed considerably since Myers' 1974 revision. Three species groups are recognized currently in the genus. Our fieldwork in Oaxaca in June 2018 produced a single specimen of considered to represent a new taxon. This new species is described from converted Premontane Wet Forest in the municipality of Santa Catarina Juquila in the Sierra Madre del Sur of southern Oaxaca, Mexico. It is most closely related to , from which it can be distinguished easily by color pattern and scutellation, and represents a species group distinct from the other three occupying the genus.
自迈尔斯1974年修订以来,食蜗蛇属的内容发生了很大变化。目前该属被认可为三个物种组。我们于2018年6月在瓦哈卡州的野外工作采集到了一个单一标本,该标本被认为代表一个新分类单元。这个新物种是在墨西哥瓦哈卡州南部马德雷山脉南麓圣卡塔琳娜·胡基拉市的转化前山地湿润森林中被描述的。它与[某物种]关系最为密切,通过颜色模式和盾片特征可以很容易地将它们区分开来,并且它代表了一个与占据该属的其他三个物种组不同的物种组。
