Scaphiodontophis is a genus of snakes in the family Colubridae. [1] The genus is native to Mexico, Central America, and Colombia.
The following two species are recognized as being valid. [1]
The Acrochordidae, commonly known as wart snakes, Java wart snakes, file snakes, elephant trunk snakes, or dogface snakes are a monogeneric family created for the genus Acrochordus. This is a group of primitive aquatic snakes found in Australia and tropical Asia. Currently, three species are recognized.
Boiga is a large genus of opisthoglyphous (rear-fanged), mildly venomous snakes, known commonly as cat-eyed snakes or simply cat snakes, in the family Colubridae. Species of the genus Boiga are native to southeast Asia, India, and Australia, but due to their extremely hardy nature and adaptability, have spread to many other suitable habitats around the world. There are 38 recognized species in the genus. According to the study done by Jiří Smíd regarding Old World cat snakes, the ancestor of the cat snake originated in Africa, from where it diversified and expanded to other countries. Despite this diversity however, the different species have very similar needs in terms of temperature and precipitation.
Hognose snake is a common name for several unrelated species. 2 colubrid snake genus and 1 lamprophiidae genus with upturned snouts. They include genera:
Dieurostus is a genus of snake in the family Homalopsidae. The genus Dieurostus is monotypic, containing only the species Dieurostus dussumieri, commonly known as Dussumier's water snake. The species, which is mildly venomous and rear-fanged, is endemic to Kerala, in southwestern India. It was formerly thought to be found in Bangladesh, although its distribution there is now disputed.
Masticophis is a genus of colubrid snakes, commonly referred to as whip snakes or coachwhips, which are endemic to the Americas. They are characterized by having a long, thin body and are not dangerous to humans.
Tomodon is a genus of colubrid snakes, which are endemic to South America. The genus contains three species. The dinosaur genus Diplotomodon was originally known as Tomodon.
Salvadora is a genus of colubrid snakes commonly called patchnose snakes or patch-nosed snakes, which are endemic to the western United States and Mexico. They are characterized by having a distinctive scale on the tip of the snout.
Sibynophis is a genus of colubrid snakes, commonly called many-toothed snakes, which together with Scaphiodontophis make up the subfamily Sibynophiinae.
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.
Oxyrhopus is a genus of colubrid snakes that belong to the subfamily Dipsadinae. The genus is found in Central America and the northern part of South America, and it includes 15 distinct species.
Dromicodryas is a genus of lamprophiid snakes found only on the island of Madagascar. They are harmless to humans.
Rabdion is a genus of snakes of the family Colubridae.
Pseudoboa is a genus of snakes in the family Colubridae. The genus is endemic to South America.
Stenorrhina is a genus of snakes in the family Colubridae.
Stegonotus is a genus of snakes in the family Colubridae.
Phimophis is a genus of snakes in the subfamily Dipsadinae. The genus is endemic to South America.
Tretanorhinus is a genus of snakes in the subfamily Dipsadinae of the family Colubridae.
Sibynophiinae is a small subfamily of colubroid snakes, sometimes referred to as a family (Sibynophiidae). This group has also been called Scaphiodontophiinae but since the name Sibynophiinae is older, it has priority. They are commonly called hinged-teeth snakes.
Scaphiodontophis venustissimus, commonly known as the common neckband snake, is a snake of the colubrid family.
Scaphiodontophis annulatus, commonly known as the Guatemala neckband snake, is a species of snake in the family Colubridae. The species is native to southern Mexico, Central America, and Colombia. There are four recognized subspecies.
