Calliophis intestinalis

Calliophis intestinalis, commonly known as the banded Malaysian coral snake, is a species of venomous elapid snake endemic to Southeast Asia. C. intestinalis is found in Borneo, Indonesia, Java, Malaysia, the Mentawai Archipelago, the Philippines, Singapore, Sumatra, Thailand, and Vietnam. This small species possesses a potent venom, and human fatalities from its bite have been recorded. Seven subspecies are recognized, including the nominotypical subspecies. Nota bene: A trinomial authority in parentheses indicates that the subspecies was originally described in a genus other than Calliophis.
