Wrong image in Taxobox?

edit

I think the image in the Taxobox is not Uropeltis liura, but rather Silybura melanogaster Günther, 1875 (non Gray, 1858). I realize that on plate XXXI in Günther (1875) this image is labeled as "B. Silybura liura". However, if one reads Dr. Günther's descriptions of these two species, and compares his descriptions with the two snakes both illustrated on plate XXXI, it becomes apparent that figure A. and figure B. are switched, probably due to a printing/proofreading error. There is a good photo of U. liura, which fits its description, on the Reptile Database page. If it is not an violation of copyright laws, perhaps someone (with better computer skills than I) could put that photo in the Taxobox. 96.236.213.217 (talk) 12:26, 2 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
