  In the above list, a binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than the genus to which it is currently assigned.
  The water cobra genus Boulengerina  was named for G.A. Boulenger, but it is now treated as a subgenus of Naja  containing four species: Naja annulata  (water cobra), Naja christyi  (Congo water cobra), Naja melanoleuca  (forest cobra), and Naja multifasciatus  (burrowing cobra).
