    Central America, South America and the West Indies: in Central America, they occur in Honduras, eastern Guatemala through Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. Their range in South America includes Pacific Colombia and Ecuador, as well as the Amazon Basin from Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and northern Bolivia through BraziltoVenezuela, Isla Margarita, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. In the West Indies, they are found on St. Vincent, the Grenadines (Bequia Island, Ile Quatre, Baliceaux, Mustique, Canouan, Maryeau, Union Island, Petit Martinique and Carriacou), Grenada, and the Windward Islands (the Lesser Antilles).

    Taxonomy[edit]

    The genera Acrantophis and Sanzinia were erroneously synonymized with the genus Boa by Kluge in 1991.[4] These have now been transferred to the resurrected subfamily Sanziniinae.[5][6] The genus Candoia has similarly been transferred to its own subfamily, Candoiinae.[6]
