DistributionBrazil (N Minas Gerais, W Bahia, E Goiás and Tocantins, Piauí, W Pernambuco, Ceará, isolated populations in E Bahia and possibly São Paulo)

Type locality: Santa Maria, Rio Corrente (present Santa Maria da Vitória): Bahia: Brazil.

iglesiasi: Brazil (N Piaui); Type locality: Near Fazenda Grande on right bank of Rio Gurgueia, Piauí, Brazil.

Reproductionovovivparous 
TypesHolotype: IOC 5337
Holotype: IBSP 561 (from Regeneração, PI, fide Silva & Rodrigues 2008) [iglesiasi] 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Supralabials ornamented with small white spots prolonged vertically and usually more conspicuous in the posterior half of the mouth. Keels of some dorsal scales with characteristic white coloration. Borders of the dorsolateral blotches of little defined contour, usually forming transverse saddles where it is difficult to see the pair of secondary blotches of the dorsolateral blotches. One array of scales between the subocular and the 4th supralabial. Central intersupraoculars with tendency to the increase or coalesce. Postocular stripe faintly defined. Dorsolateral blotches frequently of trapezoid format, narrow and close to each other, varying from 20 to 35 (modes 21 and 24) [DA SILVA & RODRIGUES 2008]. 
CommentSynonymy: Note that Amaral described Bothrops iglesiasi as a new species in two independent papers, published in 1923 and 1926. 
Etymologynamed after the collector of the types, Adolpho Lutz (Rio São Francisco Expedition, 1912). See obituary and bibliography in Anonymous (1956).
