Anileus Agassiz, 1844 that contains the single species Anilius scytale. Common names include the American pipe snake and false coral snake. It is found in South America. This snake possesses a vestigial pelvic girdle that is visible as a pair of cloacal spurs. It is ovoviviparous. It is non venomous, and its diet consists mainly of amphibians and other reptiles. Two subspecies are recognized, including the nominate subspecies described here. It is reported to be ovoviviparous and feeds on beetles, caecilians (burrowing legless amphibians), amphisbaenids or worm lizards (legless lizards), small fossorial snakes, fish (particularly swamp eels), and frogs. It forages for food on the ground, and sometimes in the water, at night. It has a cylindrical body of uniform diameter and a very short tail; it is brightly banded in red and black and its reduced eyes lie beneath large head scales. It is considered to be the snake that most resembles the original and ancestral snake condition, such as a lizard like skull.

содержит единственный вид – Anilius scytale. Распространённые названия – американская трубчатая змея и ложная коралловая змея. Обитает в Южной Америке. У этой змеи имеется рудиментарный тазовый пояс, видимый в виде пары клоакальных шпор. Змея яйцеживородящая. Не ядовита, её рацион состоит преимущественно из амфибий и других рептилий. Выделяют два подвида, включая номинативный, описанный здесь. Сообщается, что она яйцеживородящая и питается жуками, цецилиями (безногими земноводными), амфисбенами или червями-ящерицами (безногими ящерицами), мелкими роющими змеями, рыбой (особенно болотными угреми) и лягушками. Охотится на пищу на земле, иногда в воде, ночью. Тело цилиндрическое, одинакового диаметра, хвост очень короткий; змея ярко окрашена красными и чёрными полосами, а её редуцированные глаза расположены под крупными головными чешуями. Считается, что эта змея наиболее близка к первоначальному и предковому состоянию змей, например, по строению черепа, напоминающему череп ящерицы.
