Vipera renardi (Christoph, 1861)

Number of records.

86 (9.3% of the data).

Number of grid cells.

eight (2.7% of the entire grid; Table 1 ; Fig. 7 ).

Comments.

In 2016, we confirmed literature reports from Kinburn Spit ( Dotsenko and Radchenko 2005; Kolomiets et al. 2008). In the following years, this species was repeatedly reported for this area ( Mizsei et al. 2018; Redinov 2018; Mykytynets et al., 2019). Despite Sillero et al. (2014) reporting the species from the estuary of the Southern Bug River and Mykolaiv, the species’ presence there remains questionable, due to the lack of recent records (see Baybuz et al. 2011; Mizsei et al. 2018).
