Abstract

Specimens of the mamushi (genus Agkistrodon) from Tsushima Island were examined and compared with congeners from the mainland of Japan, China, and South Korea. The Tsushima specimens collectively differed from these congeners in several characters, and thus are described as a new species, A. tsushimaensis. A brief taxonomic key to the Agkistrodon blomhoffii complex is also provided.
