Extract

Two species of Kalicephalus are reported from snakes. K. indicus is found to be very common in the snake, Pytas mucosus in Canton, and K. hongkongensis sp.nov. is reported for Elaphe moellendorffi.

In a large number of species of Kalicephalus examined, a telamon was always found to be present.

The genus Occipitodontus is recognised as a valid one.

Kalicephalus minutus is made the genotype of a new genus Kalicephaloides on the basis of the unequal spicules and one of the terminal branches of the dorsal ray having its origin at the base of the dorsal ray.
