Coniophanes joanae is a species of snake in the subfamily Dipsadinae of the family Colubridae. The species is endemic to Panama. [2]
The specific name, joanae, is in honor of Joan Wilson Myers, the wife of the describer. [3]
C. joanae is found in eastern Panama. [1] [2]
The preferred natural habitat of C. joanae is forest, at altitudes of 600–1,400 m (2,000–4,600 ft). [1]
C. joanae has only 17 rows of dorsal scales both at midbody and anteriorly. [2]
C. joanae is diurnal, and despite being a forest-dwelling species, it is terrestrial, not arboreal. [1]
