A case of envenomation by the neotropical colubrid snake, Stenorrhina freminvillei.
The case history of a bite by the neotropical opisthoglyph, Stenorrhina freminvillei, is presented. This is apparently the first documentation of human envenomation by this genus. Localized pain and swelling were the predominant symptoms; no systemic reaction was noted. Such mild effects are consistent with the bites reported for other New World colubrids, in contrast to the potentially lethal effects produced by Old World colubrid genera Dispholidus, Thelotornis, Rhabdophis and Atractaspis.
