abstract = {The snake tribe Lampropeltini (the king, milk, pine, rat, short-tailed, long-nosed, scarlet, and glossy snakes) comprises a well-known group of common colubrids distributed throughout North America and northern South America. Despite considerable research focusing on the lampropeltinines, a robust phylogeny has thus far proven elusive. Here, we infer a new phylogeny for the group including all known extant species based on multiple nuclear and mitochondrial genes, and present a revised taxonomy. We also test the hypothesis of a Pleistocene species pump being responsible for the known taxonomic diversity in the group. We find that diversification of all modern genera and most species took place in the Neogene, rejecting the common model of a Pleistocene radiation.}
