Lycodon is a genus of colubrid snakes, commonly known as wolf snakes.[1] The Neo-Latin name Lycodon is derived from the Greek words λύκος (lykos) meaning wolf and οδόν (odon) meaning tooth,[2] and refers to the fang-like anterior maxillary and mandibular teeth.[3] They are nonvenomous, but many members of this genus strongly resemble the venomous kraits in appearance, an example of Emsleyan mimicry.
Fossil record
Fossils of Lycodon are known from the Early Pliocene of Henan.[4]
