DistributionChina (Daheishan Is., Changdao County; Zifu Peninsula and Jia Is., Yantai City, Shandong Province)

Type locality: Daheishan Island, Changdao County, Shandong Province, China.

Reproduction 
TypesHolotype: DLNM (?), Natural History Museum of Snake Island, Dalian.
Holotype: CIB 095886 [lijianlii] 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: This new subspecies has less ventrals (148-158, mean 153.11) and less counts of ventrals plus subcaudals (188-201, mean 194.03) than those of the nominate subspecies [saxatilis]. (Li 1999) 
CommentConservation: one of the 30 most endangered viper species (Maritz et al. 2016).

Synonymy: Simonov et al. 2017 suggested (in an SEH conference abstract) to synonymize Gloydius lijianlii with G. changdaoensis, which was reiterated by Asadi et al. 2019 (without further support). Hence the validity of Gloydius lijianlii is uncertain at this point. 
EtymologyNamed after the type locality.
