Abstract

El género Pseudoboa comprende seis especies de serpientes que se distribuyen en gran parte de América del Sur, oeste de Panamá, y en las islas Tobago y Granada. Se confirma la presencia en la República Argentina de Pseudoboa nigra, la cual había sido excluida de las listas de especies de serpientes de este país por no contar con material de referencia.
