Epicrates is now Chilabothrus
It's not often that you get to see an entire species renamed.
Check out this fascinating read from Reptile Apartment:

Re: Epicrates is now Chilabothrus
Welll, not the entire species. As I read it, the mainland species is still Epicrates while the island species are now Chilabothrus....
"Revell recognize 10 species of (Chilabothrus sp.) (C. angulifer, C. chryogaster, C. exsul, C. fordii, C. gracilis, C. inornatus, C. monensis, C. striatus, C. strigilatus, and C. subflavus.) They further restrict the genus of (Epicrates sp.) originally described by Wagler in 1830 to five recognized continental species (E. alvarezi, E. assisi, E. cenchria, E. crassus, and E. maurus.)"

Re: Epicrates is now Chilabothrus
You are correct, Dave.
My apologies everyone. My attention to detail sometimes lets me down. :-\

Re: Epicrates is now Chilabothrus
Thanks, everyone. As some of you may know, I've become more of a FB addict of late. If you're interested in a FB friend, shoot me a request! Roy Blanchette.
And be sure to check out my Next Generation Boas page. We've got some really cool stuff in the works!
I'll make it a point to "show my face, or more appropriately, my writings here more often. :-)
