Protobothrops
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Automated taxobox".
Protobothrops is a genus of pit vipers found in Asia.[1] It is also known as the lance headed pit vipers.[2]
The venom of Protobothrops can be diverse and unique across individual organisms of the same and differing species and has demonstrated the ability to evolve in an accelerated manner.[3][4] One possible explanation for these traits is that the habitat in which Protobothrops reside contains a large variety of prey which may have prompted the diversification of the venom related genes.[3][4]
Species
Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Protobothrops.
