Sinomicrurus swinhoei, also known as Swinhoe's temperate Asian coralsnake, is a highly venomous species of coral snake in the family Elapidae.

[1][2][3][4] The specific name is in honor of the English naturalist Robert Swinhoe, who was first European consul in Taiwan.

[1][4] Originally described as Calliophis swinhoei by John Van Denburgh in 1922, recent literature has treated it as subspecies of Sinomicrurus macclellandi.

[1][4] Some sources suggests a much higher maximum total length (i.e., including tail), 98 cm (39 in).

[4] It lives on montane forest floor, in stone cracks, and among leaf litter.
