| Diagnosis | Diagnosis. Trimeresurus liqibini sp. nov. can be distinguished from all other congeneric species by a combination of the following morphological characters: (1) Dorsal body grass-green, ventral body yellowish-green. (2) Lateral head grass-green above lower margin of eyes, and light green below, without postocular stripes in females. (3) Ventrolateral stripe white, present on outermost rows of dorsal scales in females. (4) Iris golden yellow in females. (5) First supralabial separated from nasal scale by a distinct suture. (6) Head scales feebly keeled; dorsal scale rows 19 (20)–19–15 (N = 2), slightly keeled except the outermost rows; ventral scales 145–147 in females (N = 2); subcaudal scales 55–60 in females (N = 2). (7) Tail prehensile, predominantly reddish-brown; tail moderate in length, with TaL/TL ratios of 0.171–0.175 in females. (8) Internasals not in contact, usually separated by one scale. (9) Supraoculars large but elongate, separated by 10–11 cephalic scales. Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data. However, these details, e.g. detailed descriptions (about about 3.35 pages) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us if you need any of this material. |
