The Asian snail-eating snakes    Pareas    is the largest genus of the family   Pareidae   (formerly   Pareatidae  ), and widely distributed in Southeast Asia. However, potential diversity remains poorly explored due to their highly conserved morphology and incomplete samples. Here, on basis of more extensive sampling, interspecific phylogenetic relationships of the genus    Pareas    were reconstructed using two mitochondrial fragments ( cyt b  and  ND4 ) and two nuclear genes (c-mos and  Rag1 ), and multivariate morphometrics conducted for external morphological data. Both Bayesian Inference and Maximum Likelihood analyses consistently showed that the genus    Pareas    was comprised of two distinct, monophyletic lineages with moderate to low support values. Based on evidences from molecular phylogeny and morphological data, cryptic diversity of this genus was uncovered and two new species were described. In additional, the validity of    P.   macularius    is confirmed.
