Gloydius ussuriensis is a venomous pitviper species endemic to far east Russia, northeastern China and the Korean Peninsula.

These blotches, which may oppose or alternate on either side of the middorsal line, are usually closed and have a pale interior with a dark smudge in the center that makes them look like a row of bull's-eyes on either side of the body.

A dark postocular stripe is present that is bordered above by a narrow yellow or white line.

Chernov proposed that the type locality be restricted to "Suchan River (in Primorskiy Kray).

"[1] This species has long been confused with G. saxatilis in Korea and G. brevicauda in eastern parts of Liaoning in China, where it is sympatric with these forms.
