Three subspecies are currently recognized, including the nominate subspecies described here. ==Description== Gloyd and Conant (1990) reported examining subadults and adults that were 33.5–71 cm (13.2-28 inches) in total length. Nikolsky (1916) mentioned that some individuals may reach as much as 78 cm (30.7 inches) in total length. The body is relatively stout, and the snout is not upturned.〔 The scalation includes 7 supralabial scales, 23 rows of keeled dorsal scales at midbody, 149-165 ventral scales, and 32-48 subcaudal scales.〔 The color pattern is variable, but generally consists of 28-45 dark subquadrate dorsal blotches or crossbands that usually extend down the flanks as far as the first or second scale rows. Between these blotches are irregular light areas. A dark brown to black postorbital stripe is present, extending from the eye back to the angle of the jaw, outlined by a light line above, and by cream-colored supralabial scales below.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gloydius intermedius」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
