Calamaria alidae, commonly known as the Bengkulu reed snake, is a species of snakes in the family Colubridae.

Etymology

The specific name, alidae, is in honor of Alida Brooks who collected natural history specimens in Sumatra with her husband Cecil Joslin Brooks.^[2]

C. alidae is endemic to western Sumatra in Indonesia.^[3]

The preferred natural habitat of C. alidae is forest, at an altitude of 100 m (330 ft).^[1]

According to Boulenger (1920), the holotype of C. alidae measures 220 mm (8.7 in) in total length, including the tail which is 20 mm (0.8 in) long.

C. alidae is oviparous.^[3]
