Protobothrops elegans is a pit viper species endemic to Japan in the southern Ryukyu Islands.[1][3] No subspecies are currently recognized.[3][4] Common names include: elegant pit viper,[1][3][4][5] Sakishima habu (サキシマハブ),[6] and elegant tree viper.[7]

Description

Scalation includes 25 (sometimes 23) rows of dorsal scales at midbody, 179–192 (males) or 182–196 (females) ventral scales, 63–90 subcaudal scales, and 8 (sometimes 7 or 9) supralabial scales.[5]

During 1965–2011, 2447 snakebites from this snake are reported with one fatality.[8]

Geographic range

It is found in Japan in the southern Ryukyu Islands, specifically in the Yaeyama Islands.[1] The type locality is unknown. Boulenger listed it as "---- ?" while Gray's original 1849 description gives "West Coast of [North?] America." A restriction to "Ishigaki-Shima [Ryukyu Islands, Japan]" was proposed by Stejneger (1907).[2]
