Pseudonaja textilis (Duméril, Bibron & Duméril, 1854)

La serpiente marrón oriental (Pseudonaja textilis), o más conocida como serpiente marrón, es una especie de elápido nativo de Australia.​ Es la segunda serpiente terrestre más venenosa del mundo según análisis recientes. Sus números: LD50 de 0,15mg/kg y longitud de hasta 2,4 m. Esto, combinado con un hábitat que incluye la bien poblada costa este de Australia, ha dado como resultado fatalidades. Hay una subespecie (P. textilis pughi) en partes de Nueva Guinea e islas adyacentes.
