Trimeresurus vogeli David, Vidal & Pauwels

Material examined. – O’Rang: FMNH 263025 , hilly evergreen forest, below waterfall on O Ngeugn Stream, 12°18'50.5"N 107°06'03.4"E, 500 m elev., 11 Dec.2003 ; FMNH 263026-28 , hilly evergreen forest, O Ngeugn Stream, Mok Romum Waterfall, near 12°18'58"N 107°05'59"E, 550 m elev., 31 Oct.-5 Nov.003 .

Remarks. – Four males agree with David et al.’s (2001) original description by having the first supralabial separated from the nasal; a short spinose hemipenis; fewer than 174 ventrals (160-166, mean ± SD 163.7 ± 2.6, N = 4); white vertebral spots (in three of four specimens); and a mostly green tail with a dark gray or brown tail tip.

In life, FMNH 263025 had a tan-yellow eye; dark green dorsals, some with baby-blue outer edges; bright green ventrals; baby-blue wash on supralabials and scales on side of head; chin scales green with baby-blue outer edges; small white spots widely spaced on vertebrals; upper 2/3 of scale in first body scale row white, lower 1/3 of scales reddish-brown, forming a ventrolateral stripe; baby-blue wash on subcaudals and to a lesser extent on dorsal surface of tail; and tail tip dark gray-brown.

All specimens were taken at night (1815-1900 hrs.) next to a swift rocky stream with large waterfalls. Two were crawling on vines 2-3 m above the ground and two were crawling on rocks along the stream bank. The species was collected together with T. macrops (see above).

Malhotra et al. (2004) reported the species from Pursat and Kampot Provinces in southwestern Cambodia .
