Vernacular names
English: Red Snakes

Stoliczkia is a genus of snakes in the family Xenodermidae.[2] The genus contains three species, two from India and the other from Borneo.[3][4][5]

Etymology

The genus is named after Ferdinand Stoliczka,[1] Moravian-born zoologist who later worked for the Geological Survey of India.[6] Many subsequent publications have used the spelling Stoliczkaia. However, Stoliczkia is considered valid because it was repeated twice in Jerdon's original publication, rendering a spelling error unlikely. Moreover, Stoliczkaia Neumayr 1875 is an ammonite genus.[5]
Species

There are three species:[2][3]

Stoliczkia borneensis (Boulenger, 1899) – Borneo red snake, Stolickza's stream snake
Stoliczkia khasiensis Jerdon, 1870 – Khasi earth snake, Khase red snake
Stoliczkia vanhnuailianai Lalronunga, Lalhmangaiha, Zosangliana, Lalhmingliani, Gower, Das, & Deepak, 2021 – Lushai Hills dragon snake
