indigo snakes.[2]
Colubrine snakes are distributed worldwide, with the highest diversity in North America, Asia, northern Africa, and the Middle East. There are relatively few species of colubrine snakes in Europe, South America, Australia, and southern Africa, and none in Madagascar, the Caribbean, or the Pacific Islands.[2][3][4]
Colubrine snakes are extremely morphologically and ecologically diverse. Many are terrestrial, and there are specialized
Within Colubrinae, genera and species seem to make up five distinct radiationstribe names Sonorini, Colubrini, Boigini/Lycodontini, Dispholidini, and Lampropeltini.
Coluber is the type genus of both Colubrinae and Colubridae and the basis for the name Colubroidea, and it is one of only three snake genera named by Carl Linnaeus still in use for a snake today.[8][9]
Genera
A group of 4 genera historically placed in Colubrinae have recently been called a separate subfamily,
Ahaetullinae, in a few analyses.[10] These are Ahaetulla Link, 1807, Chrysopelea Boie, 1827, Dendrelaphis Boulenger, 1890, and Dryophiops
Boulenger, 1896.
