The Elapoidea are a superfamily of snakes in the clade Colubroides, traditionally comprising the families Lamprophiidae and Elapidae. Advanced genomic sequence studies, however, have found lamprophiids to be paraphyletic in respect to elapids. In describing the subfamily Cyclocorinae, Weinell et al. (2017) suggested some or all subfamilies of Lamprophiidae should be reevaluated at full family status as a way to prevent the alternative, which is classifying them as elapids. This was followed in later studies such as Zaher et al. (2019). Families and subfamilies:

  • The Elapoidea are a superfamily of snakes in the clade Colubroides, traditionally comprising the families Lamprophiidae and Elapidae. Advanced genomic sequence studies, however, have found lamprophiids to be paraphyletic in respect to elapids. In describing the subfamily Cyclocorinae, Weinell et al. (2017) suggested some or all subfamilies of Lamprophiidae should be reevaluated at full family status as a way to prevent the alternative, which is classifying them as elapids. This was followed in later studies such as Zaher et al. (2019). The Reptile Database considers Elapoidea to be synonymous with its sister group Colubroidea (in contrast to other studies that distinguish between both), as it does not recognize the division of Colubridae into multiple families that comprise Colubroidea, and thus instead considers Colubroidea to be composed of Colubridae + the multiple families comprising Elapoidea. Below is the phylogeny of Elapoidea after Weinell et al. (2017), with the interrelations of Elapid after Lee et al. (2016) and Figueroa et al. (2016): Below is a phylogeny of Elapoidea after Zaher et al. (2019). Families and subfamilies: * Family: Cyclocoridae & , 2017—Philippine snakes * Family: Elapidae F. Boie, 1827—Cobras, coral snakes, mambas, taipans, sea snakes, and others * * * * Bungarinae * Hydrophiinae Fitzinger, 1843 * Family: Pseudaspididae Cope, 1893—mole snake, western keeled snake, and mock vipers * Family: Prosymnidae Gray, 1849—shovel-snouted snakes * Family: Psammophiidae , 1968—sand snakes and allies * Family: Atractaspididae Günther, 1858—African burrowing asps, stiletto snakes, harlequin snakes * Atractaspidinae Günther, 1858 * Aparallactinae , 1968 * Family: Pseudoxyrhophiidae , 1975—Malagasy hognose snakes, brook snakes, and allies * Amplorhininae , 1992 * Pseudoxyrhophiinae Dowling, 1975 * Family: Lamprophiidae Fitzinger, 1843—lamprophiids (en)
