It is likely that allopatric divergence occurred as a result of the ocean barrier between Borneo and mainland Southeast Asia, established at the end of the last ice age [approximately equal to] 13,000 years ago, which prevents the movement of wild macaque reservoir hosts (31).

In this study, we put forward the hypothesis that the four species within the Ceratozamia norstogii complex, despite the low genetic variability between them, probably have originated from a genetically depauperate ancestor through an allopatric speciation process, resulting from recent divergence due to genetic drift via founder effects.

Furthermore, it is noteworthy to mention here that Coluber bholanathi and Coluber gracilis (Gunther, 1862), an allopatric congener, both share some scalation and coloration characters in common, except dorsal scale row count --19:19:12-15 (fide Gupta et al.
