| | This work comprises an alphabetical list of living and fossil, generic and subgeneric snake names, including emendations, spelling variations and errors. Type species designations are provided for all original descriptions. Each name is furnished with its family allocation (if valid) or senior synonym (if invalid), and bibliographic references are included. A literature review is presented for controversial names. This is an invaluable reference for
the amateur and professional zoologist, natural history museums, and libraries. | |
