Vermicella is a genus of venomous snakes of the family Elapidae, commonly known as bandy-bandies or hoop snakes.

[1] In mid 2018 a new species of bandy-bandy was discovered in Australia, visually nearly identical to Vermicella annulata.

The species named Vermicella parscauda is considerably more venomous, with a toxin that is comparable to that of the red-bellied black snake (Pseudechis porphyriacus).

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