Biogeographical units are indicated by capital letters. Ecoregions or combinations of more than one ecoregion followed Olson et al. [63] and Dinerstein et al. [64] and were based on the present geographic range of Bothrops species. Images of Bothrops species are examples of some key species in each biogeographic unit.
