Stenophis Boulenger (type species: Dipsas gaimardi Schlegel 1837; syn. Nagy, Glaw & Vences 2010) |
Contents:
10 species, all of which are endemic.
Endemism: 0%  100%
Suggested classification:
Family Lamprophiidae, subfamily Pseudoxyrhophiinae (e.g., Zaher, Grazziotin, Cadle, Murphy, Moura-Leite & Bonatto 2009).
Remarks:
Domergue (1995) restricted the genus Lycodryas to accomodate Comoran species and revalidated the genus
Stenophis for Madagascan species, along with other species now placed in the genera (former subgenera)
Parastenophis and
Phisalixella. However, Nagy, Glaw & Vences (2010) raised these two subgenera to genus level and synonymized the remaining species with Lycodryas.
