Bothrops mattogrossensis Amaral, 1925

Records. Table 2.

The Cerrado Lancehead was identified by its size (TL = 101.5 cm ± 20.5; n = 2) and color pattern. The supralabial scales were dark and uniformly pigmented and more conspicuous on the anterior half of the mouth. The dorsolateral blotches of the body had well-defined contours, standing out from the background color. The postocular stripes were well defined. The keels always had the same coloration as the dorsal scales. There were blotches in the interspaces between 2 consecutive blotches. We used several specimens for identifications (e.g. ZUFMS-REP00005, REP00058, REP00286, REP00342, REP01333, REP01530, REP01726, REP01869, REP02137).
