Revert to Erxy vide latest taxonomy
I have been informed by an acquaintance that

"the Gongylophis genus (last used in 2004), has been placed by other taxonomical reviews back to genus Eryx which was 1st assigned by Dumeril and Bibron in 1844. In 2013, Professor Alex Pyron did a complete revision of all Boas in the world and he updated the E.conicus to a new family Erycidae (Previously in Family Boidae and subfamily Erycinae) and keeping it's genus to Eryx. So the latest name is Eryx conicus. Gongylophis is scientifically not a valid as be a separate genus. currently 13 living sand boa species in the world and all of them are categorised under Eryx."
