History
|
 The amphibious sea kraits (previously Laticaudidae) are a small group of amphibious snakes that occur from the Bay of Bengal to the South Pacific Ocean. They belong within the elapid snakes (coral snakes, cobras, kraits, etc.). Elapids are characterized by a hollow fixed front fang and neurotoxic venoms. The relationships among sea kraits has been studied by Voris (1977) and McCarthy (1985) and the relationships of sea kraits to other elapid snakes have been studied most recently by Keogh (1998).
