 INCERTAE SEDIS 



Comment: The following taxa have not been included by Klemmer or Hoge in their recent lists of 



Neotropical Viperids. Boulenger, Cat. Sn. Brit. Mus., 3, I896, 535> included all in the synonymy of 

 his composite species Laches i s la nceola t us . a taxon now regarded as endemic to Martinique. These 

 taxa are probably all synonymous with one of following: a trox . Jararaca . jararacussu . and some 

 could take priority over the latter two.
