Bothrops neuwiedi is a venomous pit viper species endemic to South America. This relatively small snake has a wide range and is a major source of snakebite in Argentina. It was named after German naturalist Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied (1782-1867), who made important collections in Brazil (1815-1817). Twelve subspecies are currently recognized, including the nominate subspecies described here.
