Contents:
9 species, of which 7 (77.8%) are endemic.
Endemism: 0%  100%
Remarks:
Both laevis and malaccana were included in the genus
Pareas for many years, until Rao & Yang (1992) placed them in a separate genus,
which they named Internatus.
However, Asthenodipsas, being an older name, has priority over Internatus, as pointed out by Ota (1999).
More recently, vertebralis was also transferred to this genus (Grossmann & Tillack 2003).
