Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| E. Perrier 1928 | Dents antérieures du maxillaire profondément sillonnées, le sillon se fermant quelquefois presque en canal; ces dents en rapport avec une glande venimeuse. En arrière de ces crochets venimeux, une série de dents semblables, mais pleines. Serpents extrêmement venimeux, à venin plus actif que celui des Vipéridés, et se présentant, en général, -en raison de leurs grands crochets et de l'abondance de leur salive venimeuse, comme particulièrement dangereux. Le plus souvent vivipares. Régions tropicale et australe des deux mondes, et Australie; manquent à Madagascar et en Nouvelle- Zélande. |
