Lycophidion

As of 2015[update] there are 23 recognized species in the genus.

[2] They have flat heads and large recurved teeth that are assumed to aid them in their extraction of lizards from their lairs.

[3] All species in the genus Lycophidion are oviparous and lay between 3 and 10 eggs.

[1] Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Lycophidion.
