you probably have better sources that I do, Staphan
the source I used listed the painted keelback as a separate species from the banded or striped Keelback. It also listed seven other species with various common names (Boulanger's, chequered, yellow-spotted, etc)
All of these are referred to as keepbacks.
There is also a painted keelback among the tropidonophis species, but I couldn't find that common name among the rhabdophis species
of course my actual experience of any of these is nil
