@loarie Hi, I attach a proposal of the potential distribution the new species of Bothrocophias base on Angarita et al. (2022).
In adittion, a map more accurate using Inaturalist observations
I hope this helps to make a taxon split that actualize the current observations which appear as Bothrocophias microphthalmus.
Thanks - I drafted a retroactive split here https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon_changes/120821
next step is to adjust the ranges and atlases as you describe here
Okay, glad to help.
Atlases created, kept them simple, only covers current observations per maps above.
Need assistance creating kml files for ranges?
ranges would be great if you have them
I have created the atlases
Provisional ranges created and overlaid on a custom google map
If there are no corrections or suggestions, I'll upload them to iNat in the next few days.
Bothrocophias myrringae & Bothrocophias tulitoi ranges look great
can you add a B. microphthalmus sensu stricto range?
Sorry, lost internet connection for a bit.
Range for B. microphthalmus sensu stricto added. Northern end trimmed, southern end extended into Bolivia to encompass specimens listed in paper above.
looking great - please add!
Done, ranges uploaded to iNat
looks great and committed - thanks for all the work!
