Article Synopsis
- A new species of green pitviper named Trimeresurus cyanolabris sp. nov. has been identified in southern and central coastal Vietnam, based on both physical features and DNA analysis.
- This species is characterized by its small size (maximum 638 mm), distinct scale patterns, and unique coloration, including bright yellow eyes and blue shades on its throat and chin.
- The study highlights the phylogenetic separation of this species from similar ones, particularly T. rubeus, and emphasizes the ecological significance of its habitat in tropical forests, which is threatened by deforestation.
