Oligodon pseudotaeniatus, commonly known as the false striped kukri snake, is a species of colubrid snake. It is endemic to Thailand. This species is similar morphologically to Oligodon taeniatus, differing from the latter by the combination of 17 dorsal scale rows at its midbody, 8 supralabials, the absence of dorsal and tail blotches and the presence of a single vertebral black stripe but no dorsolateral stripes.[2]
