Vermicella
''Vermicella'' is a genus of venomous snakes of the family Elapidae, commonly known as bandy-bandies or hoop snakes. The best known species is the bandy-bandy (''V. annulata''). Species Six species are recognized as being valid. In mid 2018 a new species of bandy-bandy was discovered in Australia, visually nearly identical to ''Vermicella annulata''. The species named '' Vermicella parscauda'' is considerably more venomous, with a toxin that is comparable to that of the red-bellied black snake (''Pseudechis porphyriacus''). *''Vermicella annulata'' – bandy-bandy # One species of Vermicella is the Bandy-Bandy commonly found in Australia.

Vermicella Annulata
The bandy-bandy (''Vermicella annulata''), also commonly known as the hoop snake, is a species of venomous snake in the Family (biology), family Elapidae. The word bandy-bandy (bandi-bandi) traces back to the indigenous dialect of Worimi language, Kattang, from the Taree region, New South Wales. There are 5 known species of bandy-bandy, all of which are Endemism, endemic to Australia. Description The bandy-bandy is a smooth-scaled, glossy snake with a distinctive pattern of sharply contrasting black and white rings that continue right around the body. Bandy-bandys are strikingly distinguishable from other Australian land snakes by their unique banding pattern, which gives the species both its common names and its scientific name (from the diminutive form, ''annul-'', of the Latin ''anus'', meaning "ring"). Their tail is relatively short, having fewer than 35 Subcaudal scales, subcaudals and the tip is blunt, unlike other elapids. The dorsal scales are in 15 rows at mid body. The ...

Vermicella Parscauda
The Weipa bandy bandy (''Vermicella parscauda'') is a species of snake in the family Elapidae, described in 2018. It is endemic to Australia. Taxonomy The species name is from Latin ''pars'' (part) and ''cauda'' (tail), after the tail length and the formed bands on the tail. Description The snake has 55–94 black dorsal bands and mottled or black ventral scales terminating approximately 2/3rds of the body into formed black rings. Habitat and distribution It is found in the Weipa area, Cape York, in Queensland. It inhabits monsoon habitat. Conservation The species has a confined locality and seems to be rare based on the lack of specimens. This coupled with potential habitat disruption Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby ... due to mining suggests that ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Elapidae
Elapidae (, commonly known as elapids ; grc, ἔλλοψ ''éllops'' "sea-fish") is a family of snakes characterized by their permanently erect fangs at the front of the mouth. Most elapids are venomous, with the exception of the genus Emydocephalus. Many members of this family exhibit a threat display of rearing upwards while spreading out a neck flap. Elapids are endemic to tropical and subtropical regions around the world, with terrestrial forms in Asia, Australia, Africa, and the Americas and marine forms in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Members of the family have a wide range of sizes, from the white-lipped snake to the king cobra. Most species have neurotoxic venom which is channeled by their hollow fangs, and some may contain other toxic components in various proportions. The family includes 55 genera with some 360 species and over 170 subspecies. Description Terrestrial elapids look similar to the Colubridae; almost all have long, slender bodies with smooth scales, a ...

Binomial Nomenclature
In taxonomy, binomial nomenclature ("two-term naming system"), also called nomenclature ("two-name naming system") or binary nomenclature, is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, although they can be based on words from other languages. Such a name is called a binomial name (which may be shortened to just "binomial"), a binomen, name or a scientific name; more informally it is also historically called a Latin name. The first part of the name – the '' generic name'' – identifies the genus to which the species belongs, whereas the second part – the specific name or specific epithet – distinguishes the species within the genus. For example, modern humans belong to the genus ''Homo'' and within this genus to the species ''Homo sapiens''. ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' is likely the most widely known binomial. The ''formal'' introduction of this system of naming species is credit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nota Bene
(, or ; plural form ) is a Latin phrase meaning "note well". It is often abbreviated as NB, n.b., or with the ligature and first appeared in English writing . In Modern English, it is used, particularly in legal papers, to draw the attention of the reader to a certain (side) aspect or detail of the subject being addressed. While ''NB'' is also often used in academic writing, ''note'' is a common substitute. The markings used to draw readers' attention in medieval manuscripts are also called marks. The common medieval markings do not, however, include the abbreviation ''NB''. The usual medieval equivalents are anagrams from the four letters in the word , the abbreviation DM from ("worth remembering"), or a symbol of a little hand (☞), called a manicule or index, with the index finger pointing towards the beginning of the significant passage.Raymond Clemens and Timothy Graham, Introduction to Manuscript Studies (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 2007), p. 44.
