Abstract
The genus Boiga is composed of about 20-30 species (Rodda et al. 1999) and widespread throughout low elevation and coastal habitats of the Philippines and other Asian countries. A sub-species, Boiga dendrophila divergens had been reported from the northeastern Luzon including the Babuyan Islands (see Brown et al. 2013).
