Brachyurophis morrisi, also known as the Arnhem shovel-nosed snake, is a species of mildly venomous burrowing snake that is endemic to Australia. The specific epithet morrisi honours author and naturalist Ian James Morris for his contributions to knowledge of the animals of the Northern Territory, who first collected the species in 1970.[2]
