>>my dear friends,
>>I am in urgent need to know following bothrops are one and the sane or diffrent? bothrops alternans
>> bothrops atrox
>> bothrops lanceolatus I need to submit a thesis and hence the question.
They are totally different species.
Bothrops alternatus (not anternans) is very distantly related to B. atrox and B. lanceolatus. B. atrox and B. lanceolatus are closely related and have been confused in the past, but are in fact clearly distinct species.
There are some papers on Bothrops spp. available from the publications page from my home page, link below. For info and photos of atrox and alternatis, see the "Projeto jararaca" link below - text is in Portuguese, but the photos are the same in any language....
Cheers,
