Abstract
A bstract : We review the taxonomic status of the snakes belonging to the genus Atractus from the Pantepui region on the basis of morphological characters (meristic, morphometric, color pattern, and hemipenis). We redescribe and illustrate the holotype of A. insipidus , correcting the elevation of the type locality and providing its exact coordinates. We report the third known specimen of A. riveroi on the basis of an individual collected in the Sierra Parima close to the Venezuela/Brazil border. We report the geographical variation of A. steyermarki , expanding its known distribution on the basis of specimens collected in Guyanese tepuis, and consider the species a senior synonym of A. guerreroi . We also report the geographical variation in meristic, morphometric, color pattern, and hemipenial characters of A. tamessari on the basis of the discovery of new specimens. Finally, we provide a key to the Atractus of the Guiana Shield and discuss on the evolution of some particular features of hemipenial morphology in the genus.
