Common names include Amazon Coastal House Snake (pallidus), Northern Coastal House Snake (strigilis). In Portuguese, Cobra-Corre-Campo, Cobra-do-Mato, Corre-Campo, Corredeira, Jararaca-Falsa, Jararaquinha and Ubicorá f, are the common names for this species. [1]
The name is synonymous with Coluber nattereri, [2] Thermodynastes nattereri, [3] Thermodynastes cf. nattereri [4] and Thermodynastes pallidus. [5]
These snakes contain a pattern of 19-19-15 on dorsal scales. These scales are slightly keeled and smooth. They typically have one apical pit, one preocular scale and two postocular scales. Their hemipenis is marginally bilobed with spiculate and papillate short lobes and calyces. There is a distinct conchal process of the prefrontal bone, and the medial maxillary process of the ectopterygoid can be twice as long as the lateral maxillary process. The articulation of the maxilla- ectopterygoid aligns with the palatinopterygoid articulation. [6]
The distribution od D. marahuaquensis is several countries in South America. It can be found in Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Brazil (Amapa, Bahia, Pernambuco, Paraíba, Minas Gerais), Peru, Venezuela (specifically Cojedes), Colombia, Bolivia, and Ecuador. [1] (Kornacker 1999)
The species exhibit a viviparous mode of reproduction. [1]
Xenodontinae is a subfamily of snakes in the family Colubridae.
Philodryas olfersii is a species of venomous snake in the family Colubridae. The species is endemic to South America.
Colubroidea is a superfamily of snakes in the clade Colubroides that includes Colubridae, with some studies splitting Colubridae into multiple families that make up Colubroidea. Historically, Colubroidea also included other caenophidian snakes such as cobras and vipers, as these snakes form a clade. However these groups are now divided into several distinct, but related, families. Zaher et al. (2009) proposed to redefine Colubroidea for colubrids and related families, while designating Colubroides as the group containing vipers and cobras as well as colubroids. The ReptileDatabase considers Colubroidea to be composed of Colubridae and the members of its sister group, Elapoidea, and does not recognize the division of Colubridae into multiple families.
Dipsadinae is a large subfamily of colubroid snakes, sometimes referred to as a family (Dipsadidae). Species of the subfamily Dipsadinae are found in most of the Americas, including the West Indies, and are most diverse in South America. There are more than 700 member species.

The Colubroides are a clade in the suborder Serpentes (snakes). It contains over 85% of all the extant species of snakes. The largest family is Colubridae, but it also includes at least six other families, at least four of which were once classified as "Colubridae" before molecular phylogenetics helped in understanding their relationships. It has been found to be monophyletic.
The Elapoidea are a superfamily of snakes in the clade Colubroides, traditionally comprising the families Lamprophiidae and Elapidae. Advanced genomic sequence studies, however, have found lamprophiids to be paraphyletic in respect to elapids, and anywhere between four and nine families are now recognized.
