Abstract
Abstract Two available Linnean names of 1758 and two of 1766 are based on snakes of a single species of Oxyrhopus. Which of these names has priority has been unclear. A review of the history of these names establishes Oxyrhopus petolarius (Linne, 1758) as the correct name for the species by action of Lonnberg (1896) as first reviser.
