The occurrence of the Salmon-bellied Racer,  Mastigodryas melanolomus  (Cope, 1868), on the Isla del Coral in the Pacic coast of Mexico is conrmed through the examination of squamation and the use of other morphological characters. Additionally, we conducted a morphological analysis to assess the differences between  M. melanolomus  and  Masticophis lineatus  (Bocourt, 1890), which was previously reported on the island. The results of our analysis suggest a possible misidentication of the previous record. Further investigations and explorations will yield additional insights about whether both species occur on Isla del Coral.

First verified record of Mastigodryas melanolomus (Cope, 1868) (Serpentes, Colubridae) from Isla del Coral, Nayarit, Mexico
