/pəˈliəfəs/

Forms: also with capital initial.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Palaeophis.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Palaeophis, genus name (R. Owen 1842, in Trans. Geol. Soc. 6 210, also reported in Proc. Geol. Soc. 3 165; the underlying paper was read in 1839) < palaeo- palaeo- comb. form + ancient Greek ὄϕις serpent (see ophio- comb. form).

Palaeontology.

A primitive snake of the extinct genus Palaeophis, of the late Cretaceous or early Tertiary. Also (in form Palaeophis): the genus itself.

palaeophis1851

1851 R. Owen in Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) 141 751 Perhaps the most characteristic feature of the vertebræ of the Palæophis, is the peculiar production of the posterior border of the neurapophysis into an angle.

1863 C. Lyell Geol. Evid. Antiq. Man xx. 402 The age of the Iguanodon was long anterior to that of the Eocene palæophis and living boa.

1882 Amer. Naturalist 16 982 Species of the genus Palæophis occur in the Eocene of England.

1966 A. S. Romer Vertebr. Paleontol. (ed. 3) x. 134/2 In the Cretaceous and Eocene we find a number of poorly known forms, such as Palaeophis and Simoliophis, which appear to have had elongate snakelike bodies but vertebrae more on the pattern of the monitor lizards.
