Langaha alluaudi is a medium-sized highly cryptic arboreal species of lamprophiid snake.

Description
Langaha alluaudi can grow up to 1.1 meters in length. Females have jutting supraocular scales and the rostral appendage projects straight forward and arches slightly downwards laterally. Males have a spear-shaped appendage similar to that of L. madagascariensis but no jutting supraocular scales. Both sexes are dorsally greyish brown with brownish transverse markings.

The habits of Langaha alluaudi are largely unknown. This species is known from dry forests and thornbush vegetation.

The distinction between Langaha alluaudi and Langaha pseudoalluaudi is in need of revision.
