Stoliczkia is a genus of snakes in the family Xenodermidae.[2] The genus contains two species, both from India.[3][4][5]
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]
