Hebius is a genus of snakes in the family Colubridae.[1]

Geographic range

The genus Hebius is endemic to Asia.[2]

Taxonomy

All of the member species of the genus Hebius were formerly placed in the genus Amphiesma, but in 2014 Guo et al. placed most species of Amphiesma in the genus Hebius. They placed other species in the genus Herpetoreas, leaving Amphiesma a monotypic taxon containing only the species Amphiesma stolatum.[2]

Species

The following 53 species are recognized as being valid.[1]

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