Amphiesma beddomei |
Amphiesma is a genus of colubrid snakes.
Amphiesma species occur in southern and eastern Asia, including Siberia, Korea, China, the Indian subcontinent, Indochina, Southeast Asia, Japan, and Indonesia.
Amphiesma can also refer to a complex cell covering in some dinoflagellates, composed of flattened vesicles called alveoli that sometimes support overlapping cellulose plates to form a type of scaly armor called a theca.
