Cyclocoridae is a family of elapoid snakes endemic to the Philippines, comprising five genera and eight species: Cyclocorus, Hologerrhum, Myersophis, Oxyrhabdium and Levitonius. First recognized as the subfamily Cyclocorinae in 2017 by Weinell and Brown and elevated to full family status in 2019, the group unites enigmatic Philippine endemic genera that had previously been classified within Colubridae and later Lamprophiidae until molecular studies revealed them to be a distinct evolutionary lineage.
