Lapemis curtus
The Shaw's Sea Snake (''Lapemis curtus'', but often includes ''Lapemis hardwickii''〔Gritis, P. & H. K. Voris 1990 Variability and significance of parietal and ventral scales in the marine snakes of the genus Lapemis (Serpentes: Hydrophiidae), with comments on the occurrence of spiny scales in the genus. Fieldiana Zool. n.s. (56): i-iii + 1-13.〕) is a species of sea snake. Like all Hydrophiinae sea snakes, it is a viviparous, fully marine, and front fanged elapid that is highly venomous.〔Heatwole H. 1999. Sea Snakes. University of New South Wales Press, Sydney.〕 It is collected for a variety of purposes including human and animal food, for medicinal purposes and for their skin.〔Lukoschek, V., Guinea, M., Cogger, H., Rasmussen, A., Murphy, J., Lane, A., Sanders, K.

==Description==
This species is characterized by a wide variation in number of ventral scales and degree of parietal scale fragmentation.〔
Both sexes possess spiny scales along their bodies but males have more highly developed spines. This sexual dimorphism in spines may play a role in courtship or in locomotion by reducing drag.〔
