Bothrops iglesiasi, or the Cerrado lancehead, is a species of venomous snake in the Viperidae family.[2] It is endemic to Brazil.[3]
Taxonomy
Two different scientific names are in use for this species because there is not consensus among authorities.
- Bothrops iglesiasi is recognized by McDiarmid, Campbell, & Touré; ITIS (Integrated Taxonomic Information System);[3] Wikispecies;[4] and English Wikipedia.
- Bothropoides lutzi is recognized by The Reptile Database,[1] Dahm's Tierleben,[5] and French Wikipedia.
Etymology
The specific name, iglesiasi, is in honor of Assis Iglesias, a "travelling naturalist from Butantan", who in 1918 collected the 20 specimens from which Amaral described this snake as a species new to science.
The specific name, lutzi, is in honor of Adolfo Lutz of the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, who collected the type specimen, upon which Miranda-Ribeiro based his new species description. Adolfo Lutz was the father of Brazilian herpetologist Bertha Lutz.[6]
