Coluber, Ischnognathe, Ischnognathus, Tropidonotus Storeria is a genus of snakes in the subfamily Natricinae of the family Colubridae.

Species in the genus Storeria are found in the eastern half of the United States and southern Canada and range south through Mexico and northern Central America.

[2] The genus is named in honor of American physician and naturalist David Humphreys Storer (1804–1891).

[2][3] As their common names imply, most snakes of the genus Storeria are a variant of brown in color.

The underside is usually lighter brown-colored, yellow, or in the case of the redbelly snake, reddish in color.
