| Found in | Mara, W. Green snakes, c1996: p. 5-6 (The genus Opheodrys often is thought of as encompassing the two green snake species in the United States ... aestivus, known in English as the Rough Green Snake ... vernalis, known as the Smooth Green Snake; some taxonomists believe Opheodrys is not strictly a North American genus, but rather that more species occur in Asia ... The Asian species that once were thought to be Opheodrys now belong in a handful of "new" genera) Web. 3 (Green snake; either of two bright green harmless insectivorous North American Colubrid snakes (smooth green snake & rough green snake); any of numerous African Colubrid snakes of Chlorophis and related genera; entry under: Rough green snake (Ophiodrys aestivus); entry under: Smooth green snake (Ophiodrys vernalis)) Mehrtens, J.M.
