APPENDIX 2. GenBank accession numbers for sequences of uropeltids used in phylogenetic analyses.All sequences were previously published except for those accession codes in bold text. Species identifications follow those reported on GenBank and/or in papers in which data were reported, except for: * (listed as R. blythii in LSMNS catalogue but identified by Jins et al. 2018 as R. drummondhayi on basis of DNA data), and ** (following Gower 2020; listed as R. homolepis in previous studies).Abbreviations not listed in the Materials and Methods or by Pyron et al. (2016) or Cyriac & Kodandaramaiah (2017) as follows: KA: Karnataka; KL: Kerala; LSUMNS: Louisiana State University Museum of Natural Science; NMSL: National Museum, Sri Lanka, Colombo field tag; NP: National Park; UK: University of Kerala field tag; WHT: World Heritage Trust specimens housed in NMSL. VP: V.P. Cyriac field tag. Blank cell indicates lack of data. In the Sample column, numbers in parentheses indicate voucher code where this is known to differ from tissue code.

APPENDIX 3. Coordinates for Rhinophis records mapped in Fig. 3. * indicates type locality; ** indicates possible approximate location of Mr Minchin’s Estate, type locality of R. microlepis. Coordinates reported to less than three decimal places are estimated from online maps.
APPENDIX 4. Dorsal scale row reductions in holotype (*) and paratypes (†) and referred specimens of Rhinophis karinthandani sp. nov., and comparative specimens of R. sanguineus. Dorsal scale rows were not counted anterior to approximately the tenth ventral scale, or adjacent to approximately last five ventrals anterior to the vent.
