- Hebius Thompson, 1913 Type species: Tropidonotus vibakari Boie, 1826 Diagnosis. Semi-aquatic snakes with keeled dorsal scales, hemipenes and sulci spermaticus simple; maxillary teeth in continuous series, gradually becoming larger posteriorly in the series or the last two teeth abruptly enlarged; internasals broad anteriorly, nostrils lateral; apical pits present or absent. Color pattern commonly consists of a series dark dots dorsolaterally, forming two longitudinal stripes. Contents. H. andreae, H. arquus, H. atemporale, H. beddomei, H. bitaeniatum, H. boulengeri, H. celebicum, H. concelarum, H. craspedogaster, H. deschauenseei, H. flavifrons, H. frenatum, H. groundwateri, H. inas, H. ishigakiense, H. johannis, H. kerinciense, H. khasiense, H. leucomystax, H. metusium, H. miyajimae, H. modestum, H. monticola, H. nicobariense, H. octolineatum, H. optatum, H. parallelum, H. pealii, H. petersii, H. popei, H. pryeri, H. sanguineum, H. sarasinorum, H. sarawacense, H. sauteri, H. venningi, H. vibakari, H. viperinum, and H. xenura. Notes. Species in bold are sampled in the molecular phylogeny, and confidently placed in Hebius. The remaining 23 species are placed tentatively, as this group contains the majority of morphological variation and geographic coverage of the former Amphiesma, and thus it seems likely that most of these species are allied with Hebius. However, it is possible that future studies will show that some are actually placed in Amphiesma sensu stricto or Herpetoreas. Gender of name is masculine. Several of these taxa are not monophyletic, and thus likely contain multiple cryptic species.
