Hydrophis nigrocinctus, or the black-banded sea snake, is a species of marine venomous snakes in the family Elapidae (Hydrophiinae-sea snake). There have only been three specimens discovered. The first was described in 1803, and was collected in the Bay of Bengal, Sundarbans, near Kolkata. The second specimen was caught in the Malay Archipelago, in 1896. Over a century later, the third specimen was rediscovered in February 2015, and described in 2024. This also marked a century since black-banded sea snakes had been sighted in Bangladesh. The third specimen was found in the Sundarbans of Bangladesh, namely, the island Dublar Char.[2]
