Costa Rican snake collected once in Siquirres, Limon Province in the 1930s. But a recent discovered photograph of a unknown Trimetopon La Selva, Heredia Province is believed to represent this species.
The holotype collected in the 1930s is now lost.

Moved back to extinct (in agreement with the IUCN account). Savage state that the Selva example has a white venter unlike Trimetopon viquezi. books.google.de/books?id=HDNQ2bba3QcC&pg=PA640&lpg=PA640&dq=Trimetopon+La+Selva,+Heredia+Province&source=bl&ots=WG6GEfeqAI&sig=qfyQfdUepvQJ6sqCkskiqFy-j08&hl=de&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwikks7fud7JAhVEcQ8KHbIlDZMQ6AEIITAA#v=onepage&q=Trimetopon%20La%20Selva%2C%20Heredia%20Province&f=false |
