Incongruelaps is an extinct genus of elapid snake from the Encore site of Riversleigh World Heritage Fossil Property in Australia. The holotype (QM F42691) is a Late Miocene approximately 10 million years old, mid trunk vertebrae. Other disarticulated vertebrae, right maxilla and a fragment of the left dentary are presumed to be a single individual based on size comparisons; a chance accumulation of fragment of different unassociated individuals can not be ruled out.[https://www.researchgate.net/publication/248616688_Mid-Tertiary_elapid_snakes_Squamata_Colubroidea_from_Riversleigh_northern_Australia_Early_steps_in_a_continent-wide_adaptive_radiation Scanlon J, Lee M, Archer M, 2002, Mid-Tertiary elapid snakes (Squamata, Colubroidea) from Riversleigh, northern Australia: early steps in a continent-wide adaptive radiation, Geobios 36 (2003) 573–601]
