CommentOriginally described by LINNAEUS 1766 as Coluber simus, but this name was later mistakenly associated with the southern hognose snake. The ICZN suspended the law of priority in this case because of the long history of usage (Platt 1985). “platirhinos” LATREILLE, 1801 was adopted as the next oldest name.

Type species: Heterodon platirhinos LATREILLE 1801: 32 is the type species of the genus Heterodon LATREILLE 1801. 
EtymologyNamed after Greek "platy" = broad, flat, and "rhinos" = nose, referring to the relatively flat, enlarged rostral scale.

The genus name was derived from the Greek words heteras, meaning "different" and odon, meaning "tooth," in reference to the enlarged posterior teeth.
