Table 1 in Taxonomic revision of the king cobra Ophiophagus hannah (Cantor, 1836) species complex (Reptilia: Serpentes: Elapidae), with the description of two new species
<p><b>Table 1.</b> Summary of morphological characters associated with species of <i>Ophiophagus</i> Günther, 1864 recognised in this study. See ‘Terminology for character analysis’ for details. Note: pale dorsal bands are sometimes absent in adult <i>O. bungarus</i> (Schlegel, 1837) comb. nov. (in images of live specimens examined), and consistently absent in adult <i>O. salvatana</i> Gowri Shankar, Das & Wüster sp. nov. Further, juveniles of the latter show pale bands (in images of three live specimens examined; no voucher specimens of juvenile <i>O. salvatana</i> were available for study).</p><table><tbody><tr><th><b>Characters</b></th><th><b>Statistics</b></th><th><i>O. hannah</i> s. str.</th><th><i>O. bungarus</i> comb. nov.</th><th><i>O. kaalinga</i> sp. nov.</th><th><i>O. salvatana</i> sp. nov.</th></tr></tbody><tbody><tr><th>Anterior dorsal scale rows (DSR1)</th><td>Mean</td><td>18.0</td><td>18.9</td><td>19.5</td><td>18.6</td></tr><tr><td>Range</td><td>17–19</td><td>17–21</td><td>19–21</td><td>17–19</td></tr><tr><td>(n)</td><td>15</td><td>46</td><td>4</td><td>5</td></tr><tr><th>Median dorsal scale rows (DSR2)</th><td>Mean</td><td>15.0</td><td>15.0</td><td>15.0</td><td>15.0</td></tr><tr><td>Range</td><td>15–15</td><td>15–15</td><td>15–15</td><td>15–15</td></tr><tr><td>(n)</td><td>15</td><td>12</td><td>4</td><td>4</td></tr><tr><th>Posterior dorsal scale rows (DSR3)</th><td>Mean</td><td>13.8</td><td>14.0</td><td>15.0</td><td>15.0</td></tr><tr><td>Range</td><td>11–15</td><td>13–15</td><td>15–15</td><td>15–15</td></tr><tr><td>(n)</td><td>13</td><td>12</td><td>4</td><td>4</td></tr><tr><th>Ventrals</th><td>Mean</td><td>244.0</td><td>250.12</td><td>247.8</td><td>251.0</td></tr><tr><td>Range</td><td>226–267</td><td>253–268</td><td>241–251</td><td>247–256</td></tr><tr><td>(n)</td><td>49</td><td>58</td><td>4</td><td>4</td></tr><tr><th>Subcaudals</th><td>Mean</td><td>89.0</td><td>106.8</td><td>88.0</td><td>93</td></tr><tr><td>Range</td><td>80–112</td><td>71–125</td><td>86–90</td><td>74–112</td></tr><tr><td>(n)</td><td>49</td><td>57</td><td>4</td><td>4</td></tr><tr><th>Precloacal</th><td>Mean</td><td>1.0</td><td>1.0</td><td>1.0</td><td>1.0</td></tr><tr><td>Range</td><td>1–1</td><td>1–1</td><td>1–1</td><td>1–1</td></tr><tr><td>(n)</td><td>49</td><td>63</td><td>4</td><td>4</td></tr><tr><th>Supralabials</th><td>Mean</td><td>6.9</td><td>7.0</td><td>7.4</td><td>7.0</td></tr><tr><td>Range</td><td>6–7</td><td>7–7</td><td>7–8</td><td>7–7</td></tr><tr><td>(n)</td><td>15</td><td>68</td><td>5</td><td>5</td></tr><tr><th>Infralabials</th><td>Mean</td><td>8.0</td><td>8.0</td><td>8.0</td><td>8.0</td></tr><tr><td>Range</td><td>7–9</td><td>8–8</td><td>8–8</td><td>8–8</td></tr><tr><td>(n)</td><td>15</td><td>68</td><td>5</td><td>5</td></tr><tr><th>Pale body bands</th><td>Mean</td><td>39.6</td><td>72.0</td><td>35.0</td><td>0</td></tr><tr><td>Range</td><td>27–48</td><td>57–87</td><td>28–48</td><td>0</td></tr><tr><td>(n)</td><td>41</td><td>51</td><td>3</td><td>5</td></tr><tr><th>Pterygoid teeth</th><td>Mean</td><td>19.3</td><td>11</td><td>12</td><td>11</td></tr><tr><td>Range</td><td>18–21</td><td>11–11</td><td>12–12</td><td>11–11</td></tr><tr><td>(n)</td><td>12</td><td>9</td><td>4</td><td>6</td></tr></tbody></table>
