Gyiophis is a genus of snakes in the family Homalopsidae. [2] The genus is endemic to Myanmar.
The genus Gyiophis was named in honor of the Burmese herpetologist Ko Ko Gyi. [1]
As of 2017 [update] , three described species have been classified in the genus Gyiophis. [2]
Nota bene : A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Gyiophis.
All three species in the genus Gyiophis are found in Myanmar. Two species, G. maculosa and G. vorisi, live in the Irrawaddy Delta, whereas G. salweenensis lives in the Salween River basin. [5]
Gekko is a genus of Southeast Asian geckos, commonly known as true geckos or calling geckos, in the family Gekkonidae.

The Homalopsidae are a family of snakes which contains about 28 genera and more than 50 species. They are commonly known as Indo-Australian water snakes, mudsnakes, or bockadams. They are also known as ular air in Indonesian. They are typically stout-bodied water snakes, and all are mildly venomous. Two monotypic genera are notable for their unusual morphology: Erpeton possesses a pair of short, fleshy appendages protruding from the front of the snout, and Bitia has uniquely enlarged palatine teeth. Cerberus species have been noted to use sidewinding to cross slick mud flats during low tide. Fordonia and Gerarda are the only snakes known to tear their prey apart before eating it, pulling soft-shelled crabs through their coils to rip them apart prior to ingestion.
