therefore proposed as a replacement name for Ermia. More recently, Guo et al. (2007) transferred the species to the genus Protobothrops, based on evidence T. mangshanensis is phylogenetically nested within the existing species of that genus. The species is therefore currently known as Protobothrops mangshanensis. See also List of crotaline species and subspecies Snakebite References Further reading Zhao, Ermi and Yuanhui Chen. 1990.
