Common names: burrowing snakes
Plectrurus is a genus of nonvenomous shield tail snakes endemic to the Western Ghats of South India. Currently, three species are recognized. They inhabit high elevation montane Shola forests and are usually found under fallen logs and rocks. Some species are rare while some are quite common in their range.
