Simoselaps or Australian coral snakes is a genus composed of 15 species of venomous elapid snakes found throughout Australia, mainly in the arid parts. These are small, burrowing snakes which move beneath the surface through loose sand or soil. They have smooth and polished scales, shovel-shaped snouts, and are brightly marked with bands or annuli. At night they come to the surface to feed on small lizards and reptile eggs. All species are oviparous and lay clutches of three to five eggs.
