Thamnosophis is a genus of lamprophiid snakes found only on the island of Madagascar. As of 2014[update], six species were recognized.[1]
Species
- Thamnosophis epistibes (Cadle, 1996)
- Thamnosophis infrasignatus (Günther, 1882)
- Thamnosophis lateralis (A.M.C. Duméril, Bibron & A.H.A. Duméril, 1854) - lateral water snake
- Thamnosophis martae (Glaw, Franzen & Vences, 2005)
- Thamnosophis mavotenda Glaw, Nagy, J. Köhler, Franzen & Vences, 2009
- Thamnosophis stumpffi (Boettger, 1881) - yellow-striped water snake
Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Thamnosophis.
Etymology
The specific name, martae, is in honor of Marta Puente Molins, who assisted the taxon authors in their fieldwork.[2]
The specific name, stumpffi, is in honor of Anton Stumpff, who collected the holotype.[2]
