Brachyurophis is a genus of elapid snakes known as shovel-nosed snakes, so named because of their shovel-nosed snout which is used to burrow. The genus has eight recognized species, which are all found in Australia.[1]
Species[edit]
- Brachyurophis approximans (Glauert, 1854) – North-western shovel-nosed snake
- Brachyurophis australis (Krefft, 1864) – (Australian) coral snake, Eastern shovel-nosed snake
- Brachyurophis campbelli (Kinghorn, 1929) – Cape York shovel-nosed snake
- Brachyurophis fasciolatus (Günther, 1872) – Narrow-banded shovel-nosed snake
- Brachyurophis incinctus (Storr, 1968) – Unbanded shovel-nosed snake
- Brachyurophis morrisi (Horner, 1998) – Arnhem shovel-nosed snake
- Brachyurophis roperi (Kinghorn, 1931) – Northern shovel-nosed snake
- Brachyurophis semifasciatus Günther, 1863 – Southern shovel-nosed snake
The above species are sometimes included in the genus Simoselaps, sensu lato.
Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Brachyurophis.
