Masked water snakes of the genus Homalopsis are abundant in the wetlands of Southeastern Asia. Currently, two speciesare recognized, the widespread H. buccata Linnaeus and the Mekong drainage endemic H. nigroventralis Deuve. On thebasis of morphology we resurrect H. hardwickii Gray and H. semizonata Blyth and describe a new species from Indochina.We establish a neotype for Coluber buccatus Linnaeus and examine the status of other names associated with this species.Homalopsis species can be distinguished ...

Snakes of the genus Cerberus Cuvier, 1829 occupy a unique, widespread coastal distribution and have a salt-tolerant physiology that allows members of the genus to move across a wide range of salinities from full salt water to freshwater. Cerberus nomenclature is revised based upon morphology and builds on previous molecular studies. Three species have been recognized by recent workers, here we recognize five species: the South Asian C. rynchops (Schneider 1799); the Southeast Asian-Philippine C. ...

A newly discovered species of homalopsid snake from the genus Gyiophis Murphy & Voris is described from the lowlands of Mawlamyine District in Mon state, southeastern Myanmar. Gyiophis salweenensis sp. nov. is presumed to be closely related to G. maculosa Blanford and G. vorisi Murphy based on the similarities in pholidosis and patterning but can be separated from G. maculosa by the shape of its first three dorsal scale rows that are square, ventral scale pattern that lacks a central spot, and a faint ...

Identifying the polymorphism of the spermatozoon ultrastructure of squamates is vital for improving the accuracy of phylogenic analyses. Multiple studies have been conducted to distinguish the similarities and differences among the sperms of squamates, but these studies have mainly focused on lizards. Thus, there is a need to update the database of the ultrastructure of snake spermatozoa. Myrrophis chinensis is a protected snake in China because of its economic and scientific value. In this study, ...

The evolutionary innovations that allow snakes to swallow large prey whole provide a model system for testing how anatomy constrains what predators eat. For a clade of three snake species with the unusual diet of decapod crustaceans, we quantified maximal gape, prey size and feeding behaviour. Fordonia leucobalia eats hard-shelled crabs and had maximal gape similar to a piscivorous relative (Cerberus schneiderii). Gerarda prevostiana and Cantoria violacea eat freshly moulted crabs and snapping shrimp, ...

The taxonomic position of the rare Selangor Mud Snake (Raclitia indica) Gray to other species of homalopsids has remained uncertain due to the scarcity of specimens in collections and the lack of genetic material for comparison. Here we report the first molecular phylogenetic examination of this species based on recently acquired material. The study recovered R. indica nested within the clade of advanced, fanged homalopsids and the sister species to Erpeton tentaculatus Lácèpede. We also present ...
