We report the first record of isolated precloacal vertebrae of a �colubrine� snake from a late Miocene site, Tapar section in Kutch, Gujarat (India). The present specimens differ from the earlier finding of a colubrid from a younger deposit of Labli Member, Utterbaini Formation of Upper Siwaliks (Jammu and Kashmir) by the absence of hyapophyses. The �colubrine� snakes of late Miocene (~11-10 Ma) perhaps lived in a relatively wetter environment compared to the present �colubrine� from Kutch. � 2021 Palaeontological Society Of India.
