Helicops carinicaudus is a species of snake in the family Colubridae. It is endemic to eastern Brazil .[1][2] Specimens from Colombia are likely mislabeled, probably representing Helicops danieli.[1]
There are two subspecies:[2]
- Helicops carinicaudus carinicauda Wied-Neuwied, 1825
- Lindholm, 1902 Helicops carinicaudus triserialis
The former subspecies Helicops carinicaudus infrataeniatus is now considered a valid species, Helicops infrataeniatus.[2]
