Until recently, all Asiatic cobra populations were regarded as belonging to one single species, Naja naja. Recent revisions have shown that there are in fact at least 10 full species of Asiatic Naja. In order to allow the existing literature to be reconciled with these recent discoveries, an interpretation of the older nomenclature is provided. Problematic areas, especially concerning the species N. sumatrana and N. siamensis, are highlighted.
直到最近，所有亚洲眼镜蛇种群都被视为属于单一物种——印度眼镜蛇（Naja naja）。最近的修订表明，实际上亚洲眼镜蛇至少有10个完整物种。为了使现有文献与这些最新发现相协调，本文对旧的命名法进行了解释。文中突出了一些有问题的领域，特别是关于苏门答腊眼镜蛇（N. sumatrana）和暹罗眼镜蛇（N. siamensis）的问题。
