TypesSyntype: RMNH RENA.24 (fide E. Dondorp, pers. comm., 28 Jan 2019) 
Diagnosis 
CommentColor image in Bulian (1999). PAUWELS et al. (2003) state that “REINWARDT most probably was the author of the specific nomen, but obviously did not write anything.” Therefore, in agreement with the ICZN, BOIE “must be regarded as the sole author of this taxon”.

Type species: Xenopeltis unicolor is the type species of the genus Xenopeltis Reinwardt, 1827 and the type species of the the family Xenopeltidae. The family is characterized by a peculiar skull in which the bones are rigidly connected.

DNA barcodes suggested multiple species within this species (Laopichienpong et al. 2016).
