Taxonomy:
Of the three subspecies listed by Crother et al. (2017), only the
Northern Pinesnake (P. m. melanoleucus)
occurs in Tennessee (Conant and Collins 1998).
Distribution:
In Tennessee, pinesnakes may range statewide.
However, they have yet to be found in the following areas: most of West
Tennessee, much of Middle Tennessee, especially the Central Basin, and the northern parts of East
Tennessee.

Questionable
and/or Erroneous Records:
Based on two specimens in the United States National Museum (Nos. 10363
and 226635), Blanchard (1920) and Stull (1932 and 1940) reported the species
from “Murphy (near Knoxville), Tenn.”
The collection site for both specimens is listed as “Murphy, Tennessee”
in the United States National Museum Catalog. To our knowledge, there is
currently no community called Murphy near Knoxville.
Therefore, given the uncertainty of the locality, we plotted this record
with a question mark in the vicinity of Murphy Cemetery and Murphy Creek just
northeast of Knoxville.
