discussion
REMARKS. — According to Taylor (1923: 553), Boiga angulata, also B. schultzei, are related to B. drapiezii (see Leviton [1970 a: 310 – 311]; also RM Brown, unpublished data). Jeffrey Weinell (2017, pers. comm.) suggested that the following citations for Boiga angulata are in error inasmuch as the associated images are of B. cynodon (Ferner, Brown, Sison, and Kennedy [2001: 51 {18}]; Devan-Song and Brown [2012: 12, fig. 25]).
