Buhoma is a genus of snakes in the superfamily Elapoidea. The genus is endemic to Africa.[2]
It was formerly classified in the family Lamprophiidae, but following the split of that family, the taxonomic placement of Buhoma remains uncertain.[3]
Species
[edit]Three species are recognized as being valid.[2]
- Buhoma depressiceps (F. Werner, 1897)[4][5] – pale-headed forest snake
- Buhoma procterae (Loveridge, 1922)[6] – Uluguru forest snake
- Buhoma vauerocegae (Tornier, 1902)[7] – Usambara forest snake
Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Buhoma.
