''Boaedon'' is a genus of African Lamprophiids consisting of the "Brown" House Snakes. The genus was originally described by Duméril but the species contained were reclassified as Lamprophis by Fitzinger in 1843, this taxonomy remained widely accepted until November 2010 when a phylogenetic study was published by Kelly, C.M.R et al. who resurrected the ''Boaedon'' clade.〔Kelly, C.M.R., et al. Molecular systematics of the African snake family ''Lamprophiidae'', Fitzinger, 1843 (''Serpentes'': ''Elapoidea''), with particular focus on the genera ''Lamprophis'', Fitzinger 1843 and ''Mehelya'', Csiki 1903. Mol. Phylogenet. Evol. (2010), 〕 Although commonly regarded as belonging to the Colubridae, primary literature usually lists them, and related species, as belonging to the family Lamprophiidae within the superfamily which includes the venomous cobras and mambas, Elapoidea.〔 In 2015, a new species was described and a further added to the genus.〔Greenbaum, E., Portillo, F., Jackson, K., & Kusamba, C. 2015.
