A new species of snake was described from western Panama. First documented in 1977 by Dr. Charles Myers. It was only now that it got a scientific description. The new snake has been given the name Dipsas aparatiritos.
Newly described snake has the characteristic bulbous head and brown-and-black patterning of many of the snakes in the genus. It looks very similar to its closest known relative, Dipsas temporalis, which is also found in Panama. It is now known that the reptile is endemic to, or known only from, the western and central parts of the country.
Dipsas aparatiritos is already considered Near Threatened based on IUCN Red List standards.
