Type locality: "Pozuzo, Huanuco, Peru".  
Reproductionoviparous. 
TypesHolotype: FMNH 5577, male 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Allied to Micrurus ancoralis (Jan), from which it is distinguished by the absence of the anchor-shaped nuchal mark; fewer triads of rings; and by having the scales of the light interspaces yellow or red edged with black, instead of black edged with yellow or red (Schmidt & Schmidt 1925).

CommentVenomous!

Synonymy: Pires et al. 2021 synonymized M. l. helleri with M. lemniscatus while HURTADO-GÓMEZ et al. 2021 show that it is a separate clade and thus consider it as valid species. 
EtymologyNamed after Edmund Heller, collector of the type specimen and participant in the Marshall Field Expedition to Peru in 1922 to 1923.
