Opisthotropis is a genus of snakes in the family Colubridae. The genus is endemic to Southeast Asia and South China.
The genus Opisthotropis contains the following 25 species which are recognized as being valid, listed alphabetically by scientific name. [1] [2]
Nota bene : A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Opisthotropis.
Gekko is a genus of Southeast Asian geckos, commonly known as true geckos or calling geckos, in the family Gekkonidae. Although species such as Gekko gecko are very widespread and common, some species in the same genus have a very small range and are considered rare or endangered.
Hemiphyllodactylus is a genus of geckos ranging from India and China southward to Southeast Asia and Oceania. Species of Hemiphyllodactylus are commonly known as half leaf-fingered geckos. Many species are known as dwarf geckos or slender geckos.
Salamandridae is a family of salamanders consisting of true salamanders and newts. Salamandrids are distinguished from other salamanders by the lack of rib or costal grooves along the sides of their bodies and by their rough skin. Their skin is very granular because of the number of poison glands. They also lack nasolabial grooves. Most species of Salamandridae have moveable eyelids but lack lacrimal glands.
Amolops is a genus of true frogs native mainly to eastern and south-eastern Asia. These frogs are closely related to such genera as Huia, Meristogenys, Odorrana, Pelophylax and Rana, but still form a distinct lineage among the core radiation of true frogs. They are commonly known as "torrent frogs" after their favorite habitat - small rapid-flowing mountain and hill streams - but this name is used for many similar-looking frogs regardless of whether they are loosely related.
Lycodon is a genus of colubrid snakes, commonly known as wolf snakes. The Neo-Latin name Lycodon is derived from the Greek words λύκος (lykos) meaning wolf and οδόν (odon) meaning tooth, and refers to the fang-like anterior maxillary and mandibular teeth. They are nonvenomous, but many members of this genus strongly resemble the venomous kraits in appearance, an example of Emsleyan mimicry.
Tylototriton is a genus of newts known as crocodile newts or knobby newts. About 38 known species are in this genus. Many species have been described just recently. They range from northeastern India and Nepal through Burma to northern Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and southern China.
Calamaria is a large genus of dwarf burrowing snakes of the family Colubridae. The genus contains 66 recognized species. The genus is endemic to Asia.
Smith's mountain keelback, also known commonly as Spencer's stream snake, is a species of snake in the family Colubridae. The species is endemic to Thailand.
Trimerodytes is a genus of snakes in the subfamily Natricinae of the family Colubridae. The genus is endemic to East Asia and Southeast Asia.
Hebius is a genus of snakes in the family Colubridae.
Anderson's stream snake, also known commonly as Anderson's mountain keelback, is a species of snake in the family Colubridae. The species is native to Asia
Opisthotropis guangxiensis, the Guangxi mountain keelback, is a species of natricine snake found in China.
Opisthotropis hungtai, also known as Hung-Ta Chang's mountain keelback, is a species of snake in the family Colubridae. It is a slender, cylindrical snake with a total length of 393.2–511 cm (155–201 in), snout–vent length of 312–413 cm (123–163 in), and tail length of 81.2–180.5 cm (31.97–71.06 in). The upper side of the head is glossy dark with scattered yellow flecking, the chin shields are yellow with brownish-black mottling at the margins, and eyes are black. The body and tail are glossy dark brown with a single yellow spot on each scale, the ventral scales are yellow with brownish-black margins and flecking, and the subcaudal scales yellow with brownish-black margins. Hung-Ta Chang's mountain keelback can be distinguished from other species in its genus by a combination of its measurements, scalation, and coloration.
Opisthotropis jacobi, also known commonly as the Chapa mountain keelback, Jacob's mountain stream keelback, and Jacob's stream snake, is a species of snake in the subfamily Natricinae of the family Colubridae. The species is native to Vietnam and China.
Opisthotropis lateralis, the Tonkin mountain keelback, is a species of natricine snake found in Vietnam and China.
Opisthotropis latouchii, the Sichuan mountain keelback, is a species of natricine snake found in China. It is named after Irish naturalist John David Digues La Touche.
Opisthotropis maculosa, the yellow-spotted mountain stream snake or yellow-spotted mountain keelback, is a species of natricine snake found in Thailand.
Opisthotropis maxwelli, Maxwell's mountain keelback, is a species of natricine snake found in China.
Boulenophrys is a genus of frogs in the family Megophryidae. They occur in the China, Mainland Southeast Asia and Northeast India. It had been placed variously as a subgenus or synonymy of Megophrys. Dubois, Ohler and Pyron first recognized that Panophrys is preoccupied and employed Boulenophrys as the generic name rather than Tianophrys under the Principle of First Revisor.
Lycodon meridionalis, the Vietnamese large-toothed snake, is a species of snake in the family Colubridae.
