The Bolyeriidae (Round Island boas) is a family of snakes, classified in the Henophidia superfamily. It consists of only two species, Casarea dussumieri and Bolyeria multocarinata . Formerly part of the Boidae, the Bolyeriidae is now considered a separate family.
Both species are endemic on Round Island off the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, but Bolyeria multocarinata hasn't been seen since 1975, so the species is believed to be extinct.
