The Rosebelly Worm-eating Snake is a small terrestrial and partly burrowing colubrid.

Its smooth dorsal scales are arranged in 13 rows, although males have keeled scales around the anal and front portion of the tail. (Wikipedia, general species account)

The species inhabits forest with rocky slopes in northeastern India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan. It lays eggs, with a female producing up to four in a clutch. Several females may use a communal laying site containing many eggs. The opened source does not include China in its range, making its placement in this list questionable.
