Ahaetulla sahyadrensis is a species of tree snake endemic to the Western Ghats of India.

[4] It was formerly considered conspecific with A. pulverulenta (now considered to be restricted to Sri Lanka), and was described as a subspecies of it (A. p. indica) by Paulus Edward Pieris Deraniyagala in 1955.

In addition, a now-defunct subspecies of Ahaetulla prasina, A. p. indica, was described by Rudolf Mell in 1931.

[1] This species is the most widespread of all vine snakes endemic to the Western Ghats, ranging from Gujarat south to Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

[5] It is found in moist deciduous and evergreen forests from just above sea level up to 1500 msl.
