The Colubroidea are a superfamily in the suborder Serpentes (snakes).[2] It contains over 85% of all the extant species of snakes.[3][2][4] The largest family is Colubridae, but it also includes at least six other families[2][5], at least four of which were once classified as "Colubridae" before molecular phylogenetics helped us understand their relationships.[6][7][8][9] It has been found to be monophyletic.[3][10][11][12][13]
