Abstract
Anguis melanostictus Schneider, 180I, based on a watercolor in Russell (1796), from the Coromandel coast of India, is shown to be a species of Barkudia, nonconspecific with B. insularis Annandale, 1917, and is revived. B. melanosticta, is compared with the holotype and other specimens of B. insularis from Orissa State, and shown to be larger (SVL 161.0-164.9 mm, vs. 107.0-143.0 mm), in addition to differing in the following characteristics: palatal teeth present (vs. absent); anterior lobe of tongue distinctly narrowed (vs. not differentiated); and lobules around ear opening absent (vs. present). A neotype of Barkudia melanosticta (Schneider, 1801) is designated, based on an adult female from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh State, southeastern India (ZSI 20627).
