The dangerously venomous Hydrophis viperinus (sometimes referred to as Thalassophina viperina or Praescutata viperina; see Sanders et al. 2013) is found in coastal waters of Myanmar as well as in the Persian Gulf east to the Gulf of Siam (=Gulf of Thailand), southern China, and Borneo (Leviton et al. 2003 and references therein).
Leviton et al. (2003) peovide a technical description of this species: Scales hexagonal, juxtaposed, in 27-34 rows on the neck, 37-50 at midbody, ventrals 226-274, anteriorly about half the width of the body, narrowing posteriorly to about twice the width of the adjacent scales, or slightly less; head shields entire, nostrils superior, nasal shields in contact with one another; prefrontals longer than broad, not in contact with upper labials; 1, rarely 2, pre- and 1 to 2 postoculars; 7-9 upper labials, 3-5 bordering eye (sometimes only 3-4 or 4-5); usually 1 anterior temporal, occasionally2 or 3; body more or less bicolored, gray above , white below, the 2 usually clearly demarcated on the sides, often with 25-35 dark rhomboidal spots, rarely with dark bands. Total length: males 925 mm, females 820 mm; tail length: males 100 mm, females 80 mm.
As in all Hydrophiinae, there is no difference between dorsal and ventral scales, both of which are hexagonal in this species.
de Silva et al. (2011) reported preliminary observations on the sex, reproductive status, and reproduction of six species of hydrophiine sea snakes (including Hydrophis viperinus) collected as fishing bycatches in different coastal regions of Sri Lanka.

C'est un serpent marin venimeux. Il est gris, le dessous étant blanc, avec une nette démarcation entre les deux. Il présente généralement des points sombres sur le corps, parfois des bandes.
Les mâles atteignent 925 mm, les femelles 820 mm[1].
Il chasse sur les fonds vaseux et dans les récifs coralliens, à une profondeur de 15 à 30 m, des poissons-chats, des gobies, des murènes et des crustacés.
Hydrophis viperinus est souvent capturé dans les filets lors des pêches de nuit au lamparo. Au Viêt-Nam, cette espèce fait l'objet de commerce pour sa peau et sa viande fumée[2].
Cette espèce a été placée dans le genre monotypique Praescutata[3] son inclusion dans Hydrophis a été confirmée par Sanders, Lee, Mumpuni, Bertozzi et Rasmussen en 2013[4].
