| Genus | Dryophylax |
| Species | D. paraguanae |
This species is named after its type locality, the Península de Paraguaná in Falcón state, Venezuela. The name is synonymous with Thamnodynastes paraguanae. [3] [4] [5]
Dryophylax paraguanae features weakly keeled dorsal scales arranged in 19-19-15 configuration. Its hemipenis is slender anc lacks spines. The maxillary teeth are typically arranged in 13+2G format, and its infralabials and chin is usually heavily pigmented. It has fewer ventrals and subcaudals than neighboring species like D. nattereri and D. gambotensis. [2] [3]
This species is native to Venezuela (Falcón) and Colombia (Magdalena). Its place of origin is Norte de Paraguana, Falcón State.
Snakes of this species follow a ovoviparous mode of reproduction.
