Type locality: South America.

uruguayensis: Uruguay; Type locality: El Pinar, Carretera Intervalnearia, Canelones, Uruguay.  
Reproductionoviparous 
TypesSyntypes: MNHN-RA 3633, MNHN-RA 7554-7555, and MNHN-RA 7556 from Montevideo collected by d'Orbigny (the later indicated as given to Hoge in 1956 according to MNHN catalogue), USNM 420, a 388 mm (SVL) stuffed skin, and IBSP (formerly MNHN-RA 7556).
Holotype: MHNM (acronym not given but apparently MNHM = Museo Nacional de Historia Natural, Montevideo, no 557), female [uruguayensis]
Holotype: IBSP (= IB) 17873, adult male [orientalis]
Holotype: MACN 941 (given as CHINM ), adult female [chacoensis] 
Diagnosis 
CommentAppears to mimic Bothrops alternatus (Yanosky & Chani 1988).

Type species: Heterodon Dorbignyi DUMÉRIL, BIBRON & DUMÉRIL 1854 is the type species of the genus Lystrophis COPE 1885. ZAHER et al. 2009 synonymized Lystrophis with Xenodon (type species: Coluber severus LINNAEUS 1758 = Xenodon severus).

Authorship: Official Specific Name (#1966) fide Opinion 698 (ICZN, 1964). Contrary to Opinion 698, Bibron must be the author according to Art. 50a because Bibron proposed the name. Varela 1999 erroneously gave the holotype of dorbignyi as MACN. 
EtymologyNamed after Alcide Dessalines d'Orbigny (1802-1857), French traveler and naturalist who lived in South America for 8 years (1826-1834).
