Family Elapidae Boie, 1827
Members of this family show proteroglyphous dentition and the absence of a loreal scale Ferrarezzi (1994). The American elapids carry a body coloration composed of shades of yellow, black, white, and red, outlined by black or dark-brown rings or blotches ( Campbell & Lammar, 2004).
