Stoliczkia

The genus is named after Ferdinand Stoliczka,^[1] Moravian-born zoologist who later worked for the Geological Survey of India.^[6] Many subsequent publications have used the spelling Stoliczkaia. However, Stoliczkia is considered valid because it was repeated twice in Jerdon's original publication, rendering a spelling error unlikely. Moreover, Stoliczkaia Neumayr 1875 is an ammonite genus.^[5]

There are two species:^[2][3]

• Stoliczkia khasiensis Jerdon, 1870 – Khasi earth snake, Khase red snake
• Stoliczkia vanhnuailianai Lalronunga, Lalhmangaiha, Zosangliana, Lalhmingliani, Gower, Das, & Deepak, 2021 – Lushai Hills dragon snake
