- The study reevaluated the Atractus collaris complex species based on various morphological traits, including shape, color, and scale patterns across their geographical range.
- The findings suggest there are three distinct species, leading to the recommendation to combine Atractus limitaneus with A. collaris due to significant similarities in their morphological features.
- Additionally, the paper discusses variations and unique characteristics of A. alphonsehogei, A. collaris, and A. gaigeae, while also offering a key to identify the recognized species within this group.
