The Herpetological Journal 8 (3): 117-135.

Abstract:

The genus Atheris Cope [sensu stricto, after assignment of superciliaris (Peters) and hindii (Boulenger) to monotypic genera (Broadley, 1996)) is reviewed in order to determine the affinities of a distinctive new species, Atheris acuminata, described from a single specimen collected in western Uganda. A key is provided to the ten species recognized, and A. anisolepis Mocquard and A. rungweensis Bogert are recognized as full species.
