''Mixcoatlus browni'' (commonly known as Brown's montane pit viper,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/taxonomy/?term=mixcoatlus+browni )〕 sometimes Mexican Montane pitviper〔) is a species of pit viper found at high elevations in Guerrero, Mexico. This species was previously placed in the ''Agkistrodon'' genus, where it was considered to be a junior synonym of ''Cerrophidion barbouri''. Molecular evidence has since demonstrated that ''M. browni'' is a distinct species and the genus name was subsequently changed.〔 The genus ''Mixcoatlus'' is derived from the Nahuatl word ''Mixcoatl'' or "cloud serpent", a deity of the Aztec and several other Mesoamerica civilizations. This name also refers to the geographic restriction of this clade to elevations above 2,000 meters. ==Description== Not much is known about this species. This species is diurnal and it is usually found basking or moving throughout the day. This species has been seen by researchers to have more of a prehensile tail than other species in this genus. There is currently no evidence to suggest that ''M. browni'' is arboreal, although it does climb low vegetation.〔
