The Luding Wolf Snake, also called the Luding Kukri Snake, is a Chinese colubrid found in western Sichuan and southeastern Gansu. Its head and neck bear three black markings, while the orange-yellow back carries approximately 54–73 black crossbands; black spots occur along the sides of the belly. The species was originally described in Oligodon but was later transferred to Lycodon following molecular phylogenetic study. (Chinese species account; Wikipedia, general species account)
