Naja nigricincta woodi — Wüster et al., 2007; Naja nigricincta is a species of spitting cobra in the genus Naja, belonging to the family Elapidae.
The generic name Naja is a Latinisation of the Sanskrit word nāgá , meaning "cobra". The specific epithet nigricollis is Latin for "black-necked": niger, meaning "black", and collis, meaning "neck". [5] Naja nigricollis previously included two subspecies – Naja nigricollis nigricincta and Naja nigricollis woodi.
