- Common names: Mexican palm-pitviper.[1]
Bothriechis rowleyi is a species of pit viper, a venomous snake, in the subfamily Crotalinae of the family Viperidae. The species is endemic to Mexico. There are no subspecies that are recognized as being valid.[2]
Etymology
The specific name, rowleyi, is in honor of American ornithologist John Stuart Rowley, who was one of the collectors of the holotype.[3]
Description
B. rowleyi is slender and green with a prehensile tail. Adults grow to a total length (including tail) of at least Шаблон:Convert[1]
Geographic range
B. rowleyi is found in Mexico in southeastern Oaxaca and northern Chiapas. It occurs in cloud forests at Шаблон:Convert altitude. The type locality given is "a ridge that extends northward from Rancho Vicente, Colonia Rodolfo Figueroa, approximately 5 miles west of Cerro Baúl. The site is at an elevation of approximately Шаблон:Convert, on the headwaters of the Río Grijalva, roughly Шаблон:Convert to the north and slightly to the east of San Pedero Tapánatepec, in the Distrito de Juchitán, Oaxaca, Mexico."[4]
Conservation status
The species B. rowleyi is classified as Vulnerable (VU) on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species with the following criteria: B1ab(iii)+2ab(iii) (v3.1, 2001).[5] A species is listed as such when the best available evidence indicates that the extent of occurrence is estimated to be less than Шаблон:Convert, that estimates indicate the population to be severely fragmented or known to exist at no more than 10 locations, and that a continuing decline has been observed, inferred or projected, in the area, extent and/or quality of habitat. In addition, the area of occupancy is estimated to be less than Шаблон:Convert. It is therefore considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.
