About the Banded Malaysian Coral Snake
Calliophis intestinalis, commonly known as the banded Malayan coral snake, is a species of venomous elapid snake endemic to Southeast Asia. C. intestinalis is found in Borneo, Indonesia, Java, Malaysia and Singapore. This small species possesses a potent venom, and human fatalities from its bite have been recorded.
Four subspecies are recognized, including the nominotypical subspecies. Calliophis intestinalis everetti (Boulenger, 1896) Calliophis intestinalis intestinalis (Laurenti, 1768) Calliophis intestinalis lineata (Gray, 1835)
Calliophis intestinalis thepassi (Bleeker, 1859) Nota bene: A trinomial authority in parentheses indicates that the subspecies was originally described in a genus other than Calliophis.
