Contains only 1 single genus.


Snake:


Although called the Mexican Burrowing Python, this snake lives along the Pacific coast of central Mexico south to Costa Rica and north-western Honduras. It is probably not really a python, but a member of the Xenopeltids , or Sunbeam snakes. However, it remains classified as a sub-family of Boidae - the Loxoceminae .

The Bolyeriidae is represented by two species that are now confined to a small volcanic outcropping in the Indian Ocean by the name of Round Island.
It is generally now considered to have arisen from an independent lineage and has been afforded its own family, the Loxocemidae.
