Atheris.
Atheris is a genus of venomous vipers known as bush vipers. They are found only in tropical subsaharan Africa (excluding southern Africa) and many species have isolated and fragmented distributions due to their confinement to rain forests. In an interesting example of convergent evolution, they show many similarities to the arboreal pit vipers of Asia and South America.
