The Mizoram Ground Snake (Blythia hmuifang), is a species of snake in the subfamily Natricinae of the family Colubridae of the superfamily Colubroidea. The species is endemic to Mizoram, India. [2]
The specific name hmuifang was chosen in honor of the people of the Hmuifang village.
B. hmuifang can be distinguished from B. reticulata , by having fewer ventral scales (114–117) and fewer subcaudal scales in males (20–21). Smaller, younger specimens of B. hmuifang have a bright orange-red venter, and older snakes have a creamy venter. [2]
