REMARK

Rajabizadeh et al. (2011) described this species based on unique color pattern and morphological characters. A molecular study by Rastegar-Pouyani et al. (2014) suggested that the three species Montivipera kuhrangica Rajabizadeh, Nilson & Kami, 2011 ; M. Latifi (Mertens, Darewsky & Klemmer, 1967) and M. albicornuta (Nilsen & Andren, 1985) all are belonging to M. raddei (Boettger, 1890) . Another phylogenetic study conducted by Stümpel et al. (2016) suppose that M. kuhrangica and M. latifi are as valid taxa.
