Genus Texasophis Holman, 1977

Texasophis is an extinct genus known only by trunk vertebrae. The latter are elongate, relatively depressed, and their neural arch is moderately vaulted. The neural spine is low, the prezygapophyseal processes short, the haemal keel clearly limited, and the subcentral ridges are well marked. Texasophis has been reported from the Oligocene and Miocene of Europe and North America.
