Buhoma is a genus of snakes in the superfamily Elapoidea. The genus is endemic to Africa. [2]

It was formerly classified in the family Lamprophiidae, but following the split of that family, the taxonomic placement of Buhoma remains uncertain. [3]

Species

Three species are recognized as being valid. [2]

A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Buhoma.
