Cyclophiops semicarinatus is a non-venomous snake of medium size from the colubrid family. It lives in the forests of East Asia and feeds mainly on slugs and snails.
This snake differs from related species by its well-pronounced keel on the dorsal scales. It is important for nature because it regulates the population of slugs and snails in forest ecosystems.
