Bothriopsis
:''Common names: forest-pitvipers.〔Campbell JA, Lamar WW. 2004. ''The Venomous Reptiles of the Western Hemisphere''. Comstock Publishing Associates, Ithaca and London. 870 pp. 1500 plates. ISBN 0-8014-4141-2.〕'' ''Bothriopsis'' is a genus of venomous pitvipers found in eastern Panama and most of northern South America.〔 The name is derived from the Greek words ''bothros'' for "pit", and ''-opsis'' for "face" or "appearance"; obviously an allusion to the heat-sensitive loreal pit organs.〔 Seven species are currently recognized. ==Description== Members of this genus vary in size from small to as much as 150 cm (59 inches) in total length. All have a prehensile tail and cryptic color patterns that are typically arboreal adaptations. These color patterns may include a lot of green, and may or may not include pale or dark markings.〔
