Abstract

The status of populations from Northeast Thailand previously
referred to as Trimeresurus cf. stejnegeri is reevaluated on the basis of morphological
characters. These preliminary data confirm the distinct specific
status of these populations, for which a new species is here established. Preliminary
comparisons with T. vogeli, another taxon from Thailand, and especially
T. stejnegeri are provided.
