Date : 8/21/2005 Time : 7:16:46 PM Three genera of venomous cobra-related New World snakes, Micrurus, Micruroides, and Leptomicrurus, are commonly called coral snakes, family Elapidae, because of the bright rings of red, yellow, and fl that most species possess.
The approximately 40 species of coral snakes are mostly tropical, but two species occur in the United States.
One of these species, the eastern coral snake, Micrurus fulvius, includes two races and occurs from North Carolina south to Florida and west across the Gulf states to Texas and northern Mexico.

 Mike Friedman, PhD Program in Biology-EEB, Graduate Center, City University of New York
Theoretically, by conferring differential selective advantages on models and mimics, the mimetic association between coral snakes (Micrurus, Micruroides) and milksnakes (Lampropeltis triangulum) could lead to co-evolution between sympatric populations of the two groups.
In the southeastern U.S., Micrurus fulvius fulvius and Lampropeltis triangulum elapsoides are the local components of this mimetic association.
In order to assess co-evolution among these two groups it will first be necessary to test species boundaries and resolve phylogenetic relationships between designated populations of each group.
