Gerarda prevostiana
''Gerarda prevostiana'', commonly known as Gerard's water snake or the cat-eyed water snake, is a species of water snake endemic to Asia. It is the only species in the genus ''Gerarda''.
==Etymology==
The generic name, ''Gerarda'', is in honor of someone named "Gerard". Unfortunately, Gray, who named the genus in 1849, did not specify whom he was honoring. Two possibilities are Adam Gerard or Rev. Gerard R. Smith, both of whom sent specimens of reptiles to Gray at the British Museum.〔Beolens B, Watkins M, Grayson M. 2011. ''The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles''. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press. xiii + 296 pp. ISBN 978-1-4214-0135-5. (Genus ''Gerarda'', p. 99; species ''G. prevostiana'', p. 211).〕
The specific name, ''prevostiana'', is in honor of French naturalist and illustrator Florent Prévost.〔
