Vipera berus bosniensis, the Balkan cross adder [2] or Bosnian viper, [3] is a venomous subspecies of viper [4] endemic to the Balkan Peninsula. [5]
It is only found within the Balkan Peninsula, particularly the Herzegovina region of Bosnia and Herzegovina, hence its common name. [5]
McDiarmid et al. (1999) follow Golay et al. (1993) and recognize V. b. bosniensis as a subspecies of V. berus. [1] However, it has been considered a full species in recent literature. [5]
