Özet
This is the first report of the occurrence of Telescopus nigriceps in SE Anatolia. Four specimens were collected from two different localities, Kilis and Sanliurfa Provinces. In the later locality the species was found in sympatry with the closely related taxon, Telescopus fallax syriacus (Boettger, 1880). Since so little information is available on this rare cat snake, the species description is revised in detail, based on the newly collected specimens and the limited information given by different authors from its previously known distribution area, In light of the newly obtained data, its taxonomic status was discussed in comparison to neighboring and sympatric taxa.
