DistributionNepal, Bhutan,
Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam (Hoa Binh, Yen Bai, Hai Phong etc.),
S China (from Yunnan east to Guangdong and Hainan, north to Anhui; Fukien, Kwangsi, Fujian),
Indonesia (Sumatra, Java, Lombok, Sumbawa, Komodo, Sumba, Flores, Roti, Wetar, Kisar)

according to David & Vogel:

albolabris: Indonesia (Bangka, Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan [?], Madura, Sulawesi ?); Cambodia; Hong Kong; India (including Nicobar Islands); Laos; Macau; Myanmar; China (including Hainan); Thailand; Vietnam

Type locality: China  
Reproductionovovivparous 
TypesHolotype: BMNH 1946.1.19.85 
DiagnosisDIAGNOSIS (DIAGNOSTIC CHARACTERS). Scales in 21 (rarely 19) longitudinal rows at midbody; 10–11(12) upper labials, the first partially or completely fused to the nasal; head scales small, subequal, feebly imbricate, smooth or weakly keeled; supraoculars narrow, occasionally enlarged, undivided, 8–12 interocular scales between them; temporal scales smooth; green above, side of head below eyes yellow, white or pale green, much lighter than rest of head; below, green, yellowish or white below, a light ventrolateral stripe present in all males, absent in females; end of tail not mottled brown; ventrals: males 155–166, females 152–176; subcaudals: males 60–72, females 49–66, paired; hemipenes without spines. Total length males 600 mm, females 810; tail length males 120 mm, females 130 mm. [after LEVITON 2003] 
CommentVenomous!

Distribution: Not in India after Vogel et al. 2022 restricted its range to other regions. Specimens from India (Nagpur) have been re-identified as T. salazar (Vogel et al. 2022). Has been reported from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands but no voucher specimens exist according to DAS 1999. Specimens from Nicobar have been described as a new species, Trimeresurus davidi Chandramouli et al. 2020. See map in Vogel et al. 2023: 529 (Fig. 5) for localities.

Subspecies: The subspecies insularis and septentrionalis have been raised to full species status by GIANNASI et al. (2001) based on RFLPs (which may or may not be reliable markers for (sub-) species boundaries).

Distribution: Possibly in Bhutan (Lenz 2012). Records from Sulawesi are questionable (DE LANG & VOGEL 2006). Not on Timor (H. Kaiser, pers. comm.).

Habitat: fully arboreal (Harrington et al. 2018).

Genome: Roberts et al. 2024.
