DiagnosisDiagnosis (genus): Bothropoides differ from other South American pitvipers in 38 mitochondrial characters (Table 4 in FENWICK et al. 2009). External characters overlap with other South American genera, with no unique synapomorphies in scalation. Distribution in eastern South America, combined with terrestrial habitat in grasslands or broad-leaf forests (Bothropoides neuwiedi group), or semiarboreal habitat in Atlantic forests (B. jararaca group), distinguishes this genus from others (see Table 4). Bothropoides has fewer interrictals (21– 34) than the other South American genera (24–40), and some individuals have high numbers of supralabials (7–11, also seen in Rhinocerophis; all other South American genera have 7 or 8 supralabials). Bothropoides differs from Bothrops and Bothriopsis in having most species with the prelacunal separate from the second supralabial (B. jararaca, B. alcatraz, and B. insularis have the prelacunal fused to the second supralabial). Some specimens have both divided and entire subcaudals, a state also seen in Bothriopsis. Bothropoides differs from Bothriopsis in the lack of a prehensile tail and lack of green coloration. It differs from Bothrocophias in the lack of white spots on the gular scales, and the lack of tuberculate keels on posterior dorsal scales. Bothropoides differs from some Rhinocerophis (R. alternatus, R. cotiara, R. fonsecai, and R. jonathani) in the absence of distinctive back bars on the underside of the head (FENWICK et al. 2009).

CommentVenomous!

Distribution: not in Uruguay fide CARREIRA et al. (2005); only the former subspecies B. (n.) pubescens occurs in Uruguay. Not in Bolivia, nor in Peru; specimens reported from Bolivia or Peru are either B. mattogrossensis or B. pauloensis, based on the new definition of Bothropoides neuwiedi by Silva and Rodrigues (2008). Not in Paraguay; Paraguayan populations were split into B. matogrossensis, pauloensis, and B. diporus (Cacciali et al. 2016). See map in Nogueira et al. 2019.

Synonymy after  DA SILVA & RODRIGUES 2008 who elevated a number of subspecies to full species status and synonymized the remainder (neuwiedi, urutu, meridionalis, goyazensis, paranaensis) with B. neuwiedi. Other synonymy partly after PETERS & OREJAS-MIRANDA 1970, who mention 12 subspecies, and CEI 1993.

Type species: Bothrops neuwiedi WAGLER 1824 is the type species of the genus Bothropoides FENWICK et al. 2009. Note, however, that Bothropoides has been synonymized with Bothrops by CARRASCO et al. 2012. 
EtymologyNamed after Maximilian Alexander Philip, Prince zu Wied-Neuwied (1782-1867), was an aristocratic explorer. After studying natural history at Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, he entered the Prussian army (1802) and later extensively travelled the Americas.

The genus name is derived from the Greek bothros, referring to the facial pit, and also referring to the currently named genus Bothrops. The term oides means ‘similar to’ or ‘having the nature of ’, thereby recognizing the affinity of these species with other terrestrial South American pitvipers. Names ending in this suffix are masculine.
