MacClelland’s Coralsnake (Sinomicrurus macclellandi) is widely distributed across northeastern India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, northern Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, China, Japan, and Taiwan (Uetz et al. 2020). Of the three currently recognized subspecies, S. m. univirgatus has been reported from Darjeeling-Sikkim Himalaya at elevations of 1,000–2,000 m asl (Uetz et al. 2020), where it occurs primarily in damp, humid mountain forests with thick humus floors and feeds on other reptiles (Jha and Thapa 2002). This venomous elapid is protected under Schedule IV of the Wildlife (Protection) Act of India (1991) and is classified as Near Threatened in Japan (Ota 2000), but has not been assessed for the IUCN Red List.
