The viviparous sea snakes (Hydrophiinae: Hydrophiini) comprise a young but morphologically and ecologically diverse clade distributed throughout the Indo-Pacific. Despite presenting a very promising model for marine diversification studies, many relationships among the 62 species and 16 genera in Hydrophiini remain unresolved.

Dehydration and drinking behavior in true sea snakes (Elapidae: Hydrophiinae: Hydrophiini)
Journal of Zoology, 2015AbstractWater is an essential resource affecting behavior and the acquisition of energy, especially in environments where water is spatially or temporally restricted or unavailable. Recent investigations have shown that several species of marine snakes dehydrate at sea and are dependent on environmental sources of fresh water to maintain water balance.

Trophic Ecology of Lapemis curtus (Hydrophiinae) along the Western Coast of India
Copeia, 2005Stomach contents were obtained from 165 individuals of Lapemis curtus. Food was present in 90% of the stomachs, but only on 59 occasions prey could be identified to family level. Five fish families constituted the diet of L. curtus of which, Clupeidae and Cynoglossidae dominate. There was no significant difference in the proportion of the fish families

Herpetological Monographs, 2005
Abstract The Laticauda colubrina complex previously consisted of three species, Laticauda saintgironsi from New Caledonia and the Loyalty Islands, Laticauda frontalis from Vanuatu, and Laticauda colubrina, a widespread species ranging from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and the Myanmar-Thai-Malaysian peninsula, through the Indonesian archipelago to ...

Morphology, reproduction and diet of the greater sea snake, Hydrophis major (Elapidae, Hydrophiinae)
Coral Reefs, 2019Although widespread, the large Hydrophiinae sea snake Hydrophis major is poorly known ecologically. We dissected 119 preserved specimens in museum collections to quantify body sizes and proportions, sexual dimorphism, reproductive biology and diet.

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2013
We present a striking case of phenotypic convergence within the speciose and taxonomically unstable Hydrophis group of viviparous sea snakes. Enhydrina schistosa, the 'beaked sea snake', is abundant in coastal and inshore habitats throughout the Asian and Australian regions, where it is responsible for the large majority of recorded deaths and injuries

Zootaxa, 2012
A new species of viviparous sea snake, Hydrophis donaldi sp. nov. (Hydrophiinae), is described from the Gulf of Carpen-taria, northern Australia. Molecular analyses reveal this species as a deeply divergent lineage within the Hydrophis sub-group, and separate it from all other sampled taxa by fixed nucleotide substitutions at three independent ...

Stomach Contents of Three Sea Kraits (Hydrophiinae: Laticauda spp.) in the Ryukyu Islands, Japan
Current Herpetology, 2017Abstract: We collected stomach contents of sea kraits, Laticauda laticaudata, L. colubrina, and L. semifasciata around Ishigaki and Iriomote Islands of the southern Ryukyu Islands, Japan. Twelve species belonging to three families of Anguilliformes (Congridae, Muraenidae, and Ophichthidae) were detected as prey of fifteen individuals of L.

Sea snakes are highly venomous and inhabit tropical waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Enhydrina schistosa is a common species of sea snake that lives in the coastal waters, lagoons, river mouths and estuaries from the Persian Gulf through Sri Lanka and to Southeast Asia.
