The mortality rate after a bite by Hypnale hypnale is reported to be 1.7% and not antivenon exists. The mortality after a bite by the Indian Krait is reported to be 77% without antivenin. It's questionable to rate this species as ***highly venomous*** like the authors did. It may have high medical importance, but it is by far not as lethal as e.g. Kraits are.
