Inyoka

Inyoka is a monotypic genus of southern African colubrids. The word "inyoka" is Nguni for " snake". These snakes were previously grouped in the genus Lamprophis but were found to be closer related to Hormonotus; a substantial genetic divergence between them and a 1900 km gap between their geographic ranges meant a new genus was erected for Lamprophis swazicus, the sole species of the new genus.
