Ayerbe's Lancehead
Bothrops ayerbei
Bothrops ayerbei, commonly known as the Patian lancehead and Ayerbe's lancehead, is a species of viper from Colombia. The species is named after Santiago Ayerbe Gonzáles, physician, pediatrician, herpetologist and toxinologist, who thought of the species as distinct years before its description. This name is contentious as the description was produced online before 2011, and is therefore against the Code of Zoological Nomenclature.
