The genera list does not match the "genera source"... where did the genera list come from? Pcb21| Pete 20:24, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Australeps--Copperheads?

In the table, under Australeps, a common name "Copperhead" is given. That was a surprise to me, having known only of the North American copperhead, which I knew is a viper (pit viper) not an elapid. Should a note be added (as a similar one is, elsewhere) that these Australian copperheads are not related to the North American ones? I hesitate to do it myself, since I figured it out only by checking other Wikipedia articles. 140.147.236.194 (talk) 22:07, 12 January 2010 (UTC)Stephen Kosciesza

Infobox image

The image in the infobox is of somewhat poor quality, with a glass reflection on one side and depicting an animal in an artificial environment (probably a terrarium) rather than in its natural habitat. Can someone choose a better-quality image? Since the article subject is fairly broad, I'm sure many suitable alternatives exist. Augurar (talk) 05:37, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Buccal floor

"When the mouth is closed, the fangs fit into grooved slots in the buccal floor and usually below the front edge of the eye and are angled backwards" (from the "Dentition" section)

What does "buccal floor" refer to? "Buccal" means "cheek," and, at least in mammals, there is no "floor" of the "cheek." 173.224.156.33 (talk) 16:01, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

"Buccal" refers to "mouth" and not to "cheek " 2003:F5:6F06:E00:ECEE:ACD1:F51D:1864 (talk) 13:20, 25 September 2019 (UTC) Marco Pagliero Berlin

Antivenoms

"There are commercial monovalent and polyvalent antivenoms for Mambas, Cobras, Najas, and some other important elapids."

Cobras are Najas.

No need for capitalisation.
