''Walterinnesia'' is a genus of venomous elapid snake, also known as the Desert Black Snake or Desert Cobra.〔(ITIS (Desert Black Snake) )〕 It was long considered to be the only species within the genus ''Walterinnesia''. However, it was recently found that the eastern populations actually represent a different species, ''W. morgani''.〔Nilson, G. & N. Rastegar-Pouyani (2007) ''Walterinnesia aegyptia'' Lataste, 1887 (Ophidia: Elapidae) and the status of ''Naja morgani'' Mocquard 1905. Russian Journal of Herpetology, 14: 7-14.〕 ''W. aegyptia'' is entirely black in color, and has highly shiny scales. ''W. morgani'' differs in having a juvenile pattern of reddish crossbars on the back, and lower average ventral and subcaudal scale counts.〔 ==Physical description== These snakes are medium in length, with a medium, cylindrical body and a short tail. Their average length is , but they can grow to lengths of . Their head is moderately small, broad, flattened and slightly distinct from the neck. The snout is broad, sharply edged with a distinct canthus rostralis. The eyes are small in size with round pupils. Dorsal scales are smooth anteriorly and weakly keeled on the posterior part of the body and tail. They are very glossy throughout. Dorsal scale count 27 (24 to 29) - 23 (21 - 25) - 17.〔(Clinical Toxinology Resources - ''Walterinnesia aegyptia'' )〕
