Lachesis (genus)
''Lachesis'' (also known commonly as the bushmasters) is a genus of pit vipers in the family Viperidae. Member species are found in forested areas of the Neotropics. The generic name refers to one of the Three Fates, Lachesis (in Greek mythology), who determined the length of the thread of life. Four species are currently recognized as being valid. Taxonomy The genus ''Lachesis'' was traditionally composed of only three species, but Campbell and Lamar (2004) recognized a fourth species, ''L. acrochorda'' ( García, 1896), referring to it as the Chochoan bushmaster. Its evolutionary relationships are not certain, but ''Lachesis acrochorda'' is thought to be closer to ''L. muta'' than to the two Central American species ''L. stenophrys'' and ''L. melanocephala''.
