Wikipedia Abstract

Naja nigricincta is a species of spitting cobra in the genus Naja belonging to the family Elapidae. This species had long been considered to be a subspecies of the black-necked spitting cobra (Naja nigricollis), but morphological and genetic differences have led to its recognition as a separate species.
