Hey guys,
I was reading up on the taxonomoy of the genus Trimeresurus and came across this article at W.Wuster's site http://biology.bangor.ac.uk/~bss166/Updates/Crotalinae2004.htm
Under the topic Trimeresurus venustus and T. kanburiensis it stated that "Under the reclassification of the Trimeresurus complex proposed by Malhotra & Thorpe (2004b, see above), T. kanburiensis and T. venustus are assigned to the genus Cryptelytrops"
I came across the genus crytelytrops a few times while reading but i thought it was the old nomenclature for trimeresurus.
Can anyone help clarify?

Hy,
I don`t know how helpfull I am but I know that most Trimeresurus species were reasigned to different genuses. Here`s another one: Trimeresurus popeiorum = Popeia popeiorum.
Here`s the list of all the former Trimeresurus species and their newly asigned genera, it`s at the middle of the page:

Best regards, Alex S.

A good book to purchase, which Wolfgang also recommends is "Asian Pitvipers by A. Gumprecht et al ISBN3-937975-00-4 (2004). This book has most probably every photograph of every sp and Subsp and that it gives you the latest taxinomical reference at the time of publishment.
