Species: bolyeriid

Bolyeriidae is a small family of nonvenomous alethinophid snakes with the common names of Mauritius snakes, Round Island boas, and splitjaw snakes, and the collateral adjective of bolyeriid.

The bolyeriid family is very small, consisting of only two monotypic genii, the types genus of which has gone extinct.

Species
  • Casarea (John Edward Gray, 1842)
  • †Bolyeria (John Edward Gray, 1842)

The taxon was defined by French taxonomist Robert Julien Hoffstetter in 1946, almost a century after Grey distinguished the two species from the boid genii Boa and Eryx, of which bolyeriids are distantly related.
