Common names: Guatemalan palm-pit viper,[1] Guatemalan tree viper.[2]

Bothriechis bicolor is a venomous pit viper species found in southern Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras.[3] The specific name refers to the contrasting ventral and dorsal colors.[1] No subspecies are currently recognized.[4]

Description

Adults are usually Шаблон:Convert in length, but may reach Шаблон:Convert, and the body is relatively slender.[1]

The color pattern consists of a green or bluish green ground color. Usually this is without any pattern, but sometimes specimens from Mexico have black flecks and dots and/or blue blotches.

The belly has a somewhat lighter color, usually a uniform yellowish-green.[1]

Geographic range

Found along the Pacific versant from southeastern Chiapas in Mexico, east to south-central Guatemala. Also known from a few locations in Honduras in the southern part of the Sierra del Merendón and the Cerro Santa Bárbara. The type locality given is "Des forêts de Saint-Augustine, département de Solola (Guatémala), sur le versant occidental de la Cordillèra. 610 mètres d'altitude" [= Forests of St. [San] Augustín, on western slope of the Cordillera, Department of Sololá, Guatemala, 610 m]. Actually, San Augustín is on the southern slope of Volcán Atitlán.[5]

Conservation status

This species is classified as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (v3.1, 2001).[3] Species are listed as such due to their wide distribution, presumed large population, or because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category. The population trend is stable. Year assessed: 2007.[3]
