Bothrops is a genus of highly venomous pit vipers endemic to the Neotropics.[1] The generic name, Bothrops, is derived from the Greek words βόθρος, bothros, meaning "pit", and ὄψ, ops, meaning "eye" or "face", together an allusion to the heat-sensitive loreal pit organs. Members of this genus are responsible for more human deaths in the Americas than any other group of venomous snakes.[2] Currently, 48 species are recognized.[3]
