>>Can you tell me which species are called fer-de-lances? So far I've got B. lanceolatus, caribbaeus, atrox, and asper, in what might be descending order of correctness. Are there others, or is it just a question of how loose you want the terminology to be?
...

Before you answer that, I have looked at the EMBL page at http://srs.embl-heidelberg.de:8000/srs5bin/cgi-bin/wgetz?-e+. Of the species listed there as possibly part of B. atrox, Wikipedia lists only leucurus and moojeni, so maybe I should mention them at "Fer-de-lance" too.

By the way, if you're Wolfgang Wüster, I wonder whether you're quoted correctly at the EMBL page on B. asper. It says, "Has often been confused with B. atrox and hence erroneously reported from Trinidad and El Salvador (W. Wüster, pers. comm.)." This makes sense for Trinidad, but as you just told me, B. atrox isn't found anywhere in Central America, so it doesn't make sense for El Salvador.

Thanks again,
Jerry Friedman
