[5] Bothrocophias campbelli is found in the Pacific lowlands and slopes from west-central Colombia to Ecuador.

The type locality given is "Recinto Huagal-Sacramento, cantón Pallatanga, Provincia de Chimborazo, Ecuador.

[1] B. campbelli preys upon caecilians, lizards, snakes of the genus Atractus, and small rodents.

Campbell and Lamar (1992) considered Bothrocophias campbelli to be a junior synonym of Bothrops pulcher, but their concept of the latter taxon was incorrect.

Schätti and Kramer (1993) argued that Bothrops campbelli (Freire-Lascano, 1991) was a nomen invalidum and suggested a new name, Porthidium almawebi, as a replacement.
