Bothriechis marchi

Bothriechis marchi, also known as  Honduran palm pit viper and March's palm pit viper, is a species of pitviper, a venomous snake, in the subfamily Crotalinae of the family Viperidae. The species is endemic to Central America. There are no subspecies that are recognized as being valid.

Etymology
The specific name, marchi, is in honor of herpetologist Douglas H. March, who died from the bite of a fer-de-lance in 1939.

Description
Adults of B. marchi often grow to more than 80 cm in total length (including tail). The largest specimen on record was 96.8 cm. March's palm pit viper is green and relatively slender with a prehensile tail.

Geographic range
Bothriechis marchi is found on the Atlantic versant of northwestern Honduras. Its range might extend into eastern Guatemala. Records from Nicaragua are probably in error. It occurs in mesic forest at elevations of 500 - 1500 m altitude. The type locality given is "the Gold Mines at Quimistan [probably El Oro, Municipio de Quimistán, in the Sierra de Espíritu Santo to the northwest of the town of Quimistán], [Departamento de] Santa Barbara, Honduras Republic".
