Naja christyi
''Naja christyi'' (formerly ''Boulengerina christyi'' ), commonly known as the Congo water cobra or Christy's water cobra, is a species of venomous snake belonging to the Elapidae family, and native to Sub-Saharan Africa. This species was formerly in the genus ''Boulengerina'', but more recent research by Wallach et al. has shown that ''Boulengerina'' is actually a subgenus and ''Boulengerina christyi'' is a synonym of ''Naja christyi''.〔Wallach V, Wüster W, Broadley DG. 2009. (In praise of subgenera: taxonomic status of cobras of the genus ''Naja'' Laurenti (Serpentes: Elapidae) ) at (''Zootaxa'' ). Magnolia Press. ''Zootaxa'' 2236: 26–36. ISSN 1175-5334.〕 This species has no known subspecies.
==Etymology==
''Naja christyi'' was first described by Belgian-British zoologist George Albert Boulenger in 1904.〔Boulenger GA. 1904. (Descriptions of two new Elapine snakes from the Congo ). ''Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., Seventh Series'' 14: 14. (''Boulengerina christyi'', new species).〕 The generic name ''Naja'' is a Latinisation of the Sanskrit word () meaning "cobra".
The specific epithet, ''christyi'', is in honor of Dr. Cuthbert Christy, who led several biological expeditions to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.〔Beolens B, Watkins M, Grayson M. 2011. ''The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles''. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press. xiii + 296 pp. ISBN 978-1-4214-0135-5. (''Boulengerina christyi'', p. 54).〕
