Stenophis Variabilis
''Stenophis'' is a genus of Madagascan arboreal snakes, part of the family Lamprophiidae. Species of ''Stenophis'' typically have large heads relative to their body size, and their bodies are elongated and often thin. The genus includes both viviparous and oviparous species. They usually have prolate pupils. Taxonomy ''Stenophis'' was previously considered to be part of the genus ''Lycodryas'' until the mid-1990s. A phylogenetic analysis in 2008 found that the genus is polyphyletic, and a 2010 study proposed three monophyletic genera of the snakes currently in ''Stenophis'' and ''Lycodryas'': ''Lycodryas'' (with ''Stenophis'' as a junior synonym), ''Phisalixella'', and ''Parastenophis''. Species Known species of ''Stenophis'' include: Vences, Miguel; Glaw, Frank; Mercurio, Vincenzo; Andreone, Franco"Review of the Malagasy tree snakes of the genus ''Stenophis'' (Colubridae)" ''Salamandra'', Rheinbach, 30.06.2004, 40 (2): 161-179.

George Albert Boulenger
George Albert Boulenger (19 October 1858 – 23 November 1937) was a Belgian-British zoologist who described and gave scientific names to over 2,000 new animal species, chiefly fish, reptiles, and amphibians. Boulenger was also an active botanist during the last 30 years of his life, especially in the study of roses. Life Boulenger was born in Brussels, Belgium, the only son of Gustave Boulenger, a Belgian public notary, and Juliette Piérart, from Valenciennes. He graduated in 1876 from the Free University of Brussels with a degree in natural sciences, and worked for a while at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels, as an assistant naturalist studying amphibians, reptiles, and fishes. He also made frequent visits during this time to the ''Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle'' in Paris and the British Museum in London. In 1880, he was invited to work at the Natural History Museum, then a department of the British Museum, by Dr. Albert C. L. G. Günther a ...

Early life and career Günther was born in Esslingen in Swabia (Württemberg). His father was a ''Stiftungs-Commissar'' in Esslingen and his mother was Eleonora Nagel. He initially schooled at the Stuttgart Gymnasium. His family wished him to train for the ministry of the Lutheran Church for which he moved to the University of Tübingen.
