Descripción
The cranial
muscles of three argentinian species of the genus Liophis is described. They
present a typical colubroid anatomy, with some interspecific variations. A new
muscle of the group of Constrictores dorsalis is described in Liophis
sagittifer and L. poecilogyrus. Their cranial anatomy has been compared
with that of other species near Liophis, leading to the proposal that they are
closely related to of Lystrophis, Xenodon and Waglerophis.
