摘要
We describe a new large species of Tantilla, from the Sierra Norte region of the Sierra Madre Oriental of Puebla, Mexico. This species most closely resembles Tantilla schistosa in color pattern, but differs by being much larger in size and having different scutellation. It differs from all other species of Mexican Tantilla by having a uniformly dark brown dorsum and head, and a pale cream venter.
