Description

Pseudorabdion albonuchalis has a small, slender body and a pointed head. [1] It is oviparous. [2]

Habitat and conservation

Pseudorabdion albonuchalis occurs in lowland forest at elevations of 50–600 m (160–1,970 ft) above sea level. It is semi-fossorial and lives in leaf litter. It is potentially threatened by deforestation. However, it has a wide range and occurs in many protected areas, and is therefore not considered threatened overall. [1]
