DistributionS China (Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hainan),
N Vietnam

popei: China (Hainan); type locality: Loi Mother Mountain, alt. 1450 m, central part of Hainan Island, China.

Type locality: China, Fukien, Ch'unganhsien.  
Reproductionoviparous 
TypesHolotype: AMNH 34658
Holotype: CAS 71997 [popei]
Holoype: ZMB23536 [sikiangensis MELL 1931]
Holotype: SYS 1026 (also given as SYU, Sun Yat-Sen University [Zhongshan University], Guangzhou [Canton]), collected by K.K. Wong on 19 November 1928 [sinii] 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: A Pseudozenodon allied to sinensis from which it differs through a lack of yellow in the dorsal pattern, in having a narrower head, higher labial count, more ventrals in the males, fewer in the females, and fewer subcaudals in both sexes. Moreover, karlschmidti undergoes a more marked color change during ontogeny. 
CommentPseudoxenodon karlschmidti sinii FAN 1931 (issued: May 1931) has precedence over Pseudoxenodon angusticeps sikiangensis (issued 31 July 1931), according to Zhao & Adler 1993. 
EtymologyNamed after Karl Patterson Schmidt (1890-1957), American herpetologist who worked at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and later at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.
