Wow, someone posted a similar thing a while back on the old forums, and I COMPLETELY forget the answer!!!! But I remember that it was a colubrid! I think.
Sorry...

Hello there,
I have never heard of the species you listed so I did a lil search for em. Here's what I have come up with.

Your best bet is the Psammodynastes (Asia, India) & Thamnodynastes (South America) genera. Both fall under the common name of mock viper.

Here are the links to EMBL listings.

Psammodynastes

Thamnodynastes

(Linking would not work, please copy the whole address and paste it into your address bar.)

Hope this helps.
