Species
Two species are currently recognized.[1]
- Dromicodryas bernieri Шаблон:Small – Bernier's striped snake
- Dromicodryas quadrilineatus Шаблон:Small – four-striped snake
Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Dromicodryas.
Etymology
The specific name, bernieri, is in honor of French naval surgeon Alphonse Charles Joseph Bernier (1802–1858), who collected natural history specimens in Madagascar.[2]
