Vermicella is a genus of venomous snakes of the family Elapidae, commonly known as bandy-bandies or hoop snakes. The best known species is the bandy-bandy (V. annulata).
==Species== Six species are recognized as being valid. In mid 2018 a new species of bandy-bandy was discovered in Australia, visually nearly identical to Vermicella annulata. The species named Vermicella parscauda is considerably more venomous, with a toxin that is comparable to that of the red-bellied black snake (Pseudechis porphyriacus). Vermicella annulata – bandy-bandy One species of Vermicella is the Bandy-Bandy commonly found in Australia. This snake is highly venomous and relatively small, sizing between 50 and 100 cm. Bandy-Bandies use their banded black and white pattern to repel predators by moving rapidly, causing a flicker visual illusion. Vermicella intermedia – intermediate bandy-bandy Vermicella multifasciata – northern bandy-bandy Vermicella snelli – Pilbara bandy-bandy Vermicella vermiformis – Centralian bandy-bandy Vermicella parscauda – Weipa bandy-bandy.
