Stenophis is a genus of Madagascan arboreal snakes, part of the family Lamprophiidae. Species of Stenophis typically have large heads relative to their body size, and their bodies are elongated and often thin.[1] The genus includes both viviparous and oviparous species.[1] They usually have prolate pupils.

Taxonomy

Stenophis was previously considered to be part of the genus Lycodryas until the mid-1990s.[1]

A phylogenetic analysis in 2008 found that the genus is polyphyletic,[2] and a 2010 study proposed three monophyletic genera of the snakes currently in Stenophis and Lycodryas: Lycodryas (with Stenophis as a junior synonym), Phisalixella, and Parastenophis.[3]

Species

Known species of Stenophis include:[4]

  • Stenophis arctifasciatus (A.M.C. Duméril, Bibron & A.H.A. Duméril, 1854)
    = Phisalixella arctifasciata (A.M.C. Duméril, Bibron & A.H.A. Duméril, 1854)
  • Stenophis betsileanus (Günther, 1880) = Parastenophis betsileanus (Günther, 1880)
  • Stenophis carleti Domergue, 1995 = Lycodryas carleti (Domergue, 1995)
  • Stenophis citrinus Domergue, 1995 = Lycodryas citrinus (Domergue, 1995)
  • Stenophis gaimardi (Schlegel, 1837) = Lycodryas gaimardi (Schlegel, 1837)
  • Stenophis granuliceps (Boettger, 1877) = Lycodryas granuliceps (Boettger, 1877)
  • Stenophis guentheri Boulenger, 1896 = Lycodryas guentheri (Boulenger, 1896)
  • Stenophis iarakaensis Domergue, 1995 = Phisalixella iarakaensis (Domergue, 1995)
  • Stenophis inopinae Domergue, 1995 = Lycodryas inopinae (Domergue, 1995)
  • Stenophis inornatus Boulenger, 1896 = Lycodryas inornatus (Boulenger, 1896)
  • Stenophis jaosoloa Domergue, 1995 = (is a junior synonym of ) Phisalixella arctifasciata (A.M.C. Duméril, Bibron & A.H.A. Duméril, 1854)
  • Stenophis pseudogranuliceps Domergue, 1995 = Lycodryas pseudogranuliceps (Domergue, 1995)
  • Stenophis tulearensis Domergue, 1995 = Phisalixella tulearensis (Domergue, 1995)
  • Stenophis variabilis Boulenger, 1896 = Phisalixella variabilis (Boulenger, 1896)

Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a different genus.
