Hi Wolfgang,
What do you mean? do you think that this is other species??? what is the Naja species of Kazajstan??
I told this because I in my terralog book I found that the closest Naja of Kazajstan is oxiana species. I also found a book (not herpetologic) "Kazakhstan: coming of age" where the author says that in Kazajstan occurs Naja naja oxiana:

Is this new info about the known distribution of this species?

I read in the report (http://englishrussia.com/2011/09/27/poi ... e-catcher/ ) that Naja oxiana specimens were found in "southwestern side of Chardara reservoir ", I look for about Chardara in google maps and it is in the extreme south of Kazakhstan, just a few kilometers of Uzbekistan. So maybe this is the first record of this species in Kazakhstan... althouth the records of non herpetologic articles you know that are not always 100% sure...
