The keeled slug snake is a tiny-bodied species that is common throughout lowland and mid-level rainforest across Peninsular Malaysia. It also occurs widely across the northern region of Southeast Asia, including Thailand and Vietnam. The body is brown and a row of spots that run on both sides of the vertebral margin may be present. A thin postocular steak runs from the orbit to the nape of the neck. The ventrals are yellowish brown. This species also occurs widely in Borneo.
