In August 2021, we collected one specimen of the genus Hebius (Fig. 1 showing the morphological characteristics of this snake) in the Dabie Mountains (Niuwang Mountain, Lujiang County, Hefei City, Anhui Province, China). Morphological comparison showed that the snake was obviously different from the recorded genus Hebius in the Dabie Mountains (H. sauteri and H. craspedogaster). Based on molecular phylogenetic analysis, it was shown that the specimen was clustered with H. vibakari and morphologically, it conforms to the characteristics of H. vibakari (Fig. 2). It suggests that the specimen should be H. vibakari. This is a new recorded species of H. vibakari distribution in the Dabie Mountains and Anhui Province, and this is the first time of this species reported outside of northeastern China. This new record expands the distribution range of H. vibakari, and is of great significance for studying the population evolution and biogeography of this species.
