Tropidolaemus huttoni

Tropidolaemus huttoni is a little-known species of pit viper, a venomous snake in the subfamily Crotalinae of the family Viperidae.

A possible third specimen from the northern Western Ghats is considered to be of doubtful identity at best, as it shares several features typical of T. wagleri complex as well; and its provenance is also currently unresolved.

The specific name, huttoni, is in honor of its discoverer, Angus Finlay Hutton, a planter and naturalist.

It is known only from the type locality, which is listed as "High Wavy Mountains, Theni district, southern India".

According to David and Vogel (1998), this is a plateau on the western central edge of the Varushanad Hills, at 1,590 m (5,200 feet) elevation, in Theni district, Tamil Nadu.
