The poorly known semi-fossorial snake Blythia reticulata is a small, oviparous, worm-eating species found in northeastern India and neighboring countries. Here we report on multiple new distribution localities that extend the known geographic range of the species. In addition, we provide new information on the reproductive biology of the species based on egg-laying behavior data from a captive gravid B. reticulata from Mizoram. The simultaneous presence of a second clutch of eight eggs in the oviduct of the female indicates the capacity of the species to exhibit multiple matings and egg clutches during a single reproductive season.

来自印度东北部米佐拉姆邦的新分布记录对网眼Blythia reticulata（Blyth，1854）产卵的观察

鲜为人知的半窝蛇Blythia reticulata是在印度东北部和邻国发现的一种小卵生虫。在这里，我们报告了多个新的分布地点，这些地点扩展了该物种的已知地理范围。此外，我们根据来自米佐拉姆邦的捕获的网状芽孢杆菌的产卵行为数据，提供了有关该物种生殖生物学的新信息。在雌性输卵管中同时存在八个卵的第二个离合器，这表明该物种在单个繁殖季节表现出多次交配和卵抓的能力。
