Common name

In biology, a common name of a taxon or organism (also known as a vernacular name, English name, colloquial name, country name, popular name, or farmer's name) is a name that is based on the normal language of everyday life; and is often contrasted with the scientific name for the same organism, which is often based in Latin.

Dipsadinae

Dipsadinae is a large subfamily of colubroid snakes, sometimes referred to as a family (Dipsadidae).

See Rhadinella hannsteini and Dipsadinae

Dorsal scales

In snakes, the dorsal scales are the longitudinal series of plates that encircle the body, but do not include the ventral scales.

See Rhadinella hannsteini and Dorsal scales

Family (biology)

Family (familia,: familiae) is one of the nine major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.

See Rhadinella hannsteini and Family (biology)

Forest

A forest is an ecosystem characterized by a dense community of trees.

See Rhadinella hannsteini and Forest

Genus

Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.

See Rhadinella hannsteini and Genus

Giorgio Jan

Giorgio Jan (21 December 1791 in Vienna – 8 May 1866, Milan) was an Italian taxonomist, zoologist, botanist, herpetologist, and writer.

Guatemala

Guatemala, officially the Republic of Guatemala, is a country in Central America.

Habitat

In ecology, habitat refers to the array of resources, physical and biotic factors that are present in an area, such as to support the survival and reproduction of a particular species.

See Rhadinella hannsteini and Habitat

Holotype

A holotype is a single physical example (or illustration) of an organism used when the species (or lower-ranked taxon) was formally described.

See Rhadinella hannsteini and Holotype

Labial scale

The labial scales are the scales of snakes and other scaled reptiles that border the mouth opening.

See Rhadinella hannsteini and Labial scale

Mexico

Mexico, officially the United Mexican States, is a country in the southern portion of North America.

See Rhadinella hannsteini and Mexico

Ocular scales

In scaled reptiles, the ocular scales are those forming the margin of the eye.

See Rhadinella hannsteini and Ocular scales

Oviparity

Oviparous animals are animals that reproduce by depositing fertilized zygotes outside the body (known as laying or spawning) in metabolically independent incubation organs known as eggs, which nurture the embryo into moving offsprings known as hatchlings with little or no embryonic development within the mother.

See Rhadinella hannsteini and Oviparity

Prefrontal scales

The prefrontal scales on snakes and other reptiles are the scales adjacent and anterior to the frontal, towards the tip of the snout, which are also in contact with the internasals.

See Rhadinella hannsteini and Prefrontal scales

Rhadinaea

Rhadinaea is a genus of snakes of the family Colubridae. Rhadinella hannsteini and Rhadinaea are Dipsadinae stubs.

See Rhadinella hannsteini and Rhadinaea

Rhadinella

Rhadinella is a genus of snakes of the subfamily Dipsadinae.

See Rhadinella hannsteini and Rhadinella

Snake

Snakes are elongated, limbless reptiles of the suborder Serpentes.

See Rhadinella hannsteini and Snake

Snout–vent length

Snout–vent length (SVL) is a morphometric measurement taken in herpetology from the tip of the snout to the most posterior opening of the cloacal slit (vent).

See Rhadinella hannsteini and Snout–vent length

Species

A species (species) is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction.

See Rhadinella hannsteini and Species

Specific name (zoology)

In zoological nomenclature, the specific name (also specific epithet, species epithet, or epitheton) is the second part (the second name) within the scientific name of a species (a binomen).

See Rhadinella hannsteini and Specific name (zoology)

Subfamily

In biological classification, a subfamily (Latin: subfamilia, plural subfamiliae) is an auxiliary (intermediate) taxonomic rank, next below family but more inclusive than genus.
