>>Please tell me Pope's Pitviper really isn't now classified as Popeia popeiorum! Sounds like a line out of Bach's Magnificat or something.

LOL - 'fraid it is Popeia popeiorum according to the Malhotra and Thorpe reclassification. At least it trips off the tongue rather more easily (and causes less keyboard wear) than Cryptelytrops purpureomaculatus... Also, if the Trimeresurus fans think they have a hard time with weird generic names, they should take a look at some of the generic names resurrected for some of the Asian ex-Elaphe... some of those are seriously scary!

Cheers,

WW
