In the frame of our investigations on systematics complex species Trimeresurus albolabris, we came across specimens from Myanmar variously referred to as albolabris Gray, 1842 or T. septentrionalis Kramer, 1977 in literature. We describe a new green pitviper genus Lacpde, 1804 central and southern based molecular analyses drawn previously published phylogenies morphological data. This species, uetzi sp. nov., is broadly similar both septentrionalis, but it differs these latter by series characters such presence white pre- postocular streaks male, iris copper male gold female, more ventral plates, much shorter hemipenis. compare this with currently defined other complex. also emphasize need for additional integrated studies sensu lato populations distributed Indochina Sundaland.

We report Bungarus suzhenae Chen, Shi, Vogel, Ding & 2021 and Ovophis zayuensis (Jiang, 1977) for the first time from India. Specimens of B. O. were collected during our field surveys in north (Arunachal Pradesh) south (Nagaland-Manipur border) river Brahmaputra. Species identity was supported by partial cytochrome b (cyt b), 16s mitochondrial gene. provide a detailed morphological description key to two genera this region. This extends westernmost distribution ca. 300 km Myanmar, southernmost range 170 Tibet. Until now eight species only one have been reported are recently be medically important venomous snakes whose venom properties not investigated depth.
