What is another word for natrix?
Pronunciation: [nˈe͡ɪtɹɪks] (IPA) 
Natrix is a scientific name used to describe a genus of nonvenomous colubrid snakes commonly known as water snakes. These serpents are widespread throughout Europe, with a few species also found in Asia and Africa. While the term "natrix" is the official name for these snakes, there are alternative names used as synonyms, including the water snake, pond snake, and ringed snake. These monikers are a reflection of the snake's natural habitat and physical characteristics. For instance, the water snake name is derived from the fact that natrix species are aquatic reptiles and can often be found in or near bodies of water.
