Vipera ocellata is a scientific name first proposed by Latreille In Sonnini & Latreille in 1801 to describe a venomous viper found in Europe. It was used again in by Smith in 1838 to describe a puff adder from southern Africa. However, this name has long since been considered a synonym of both species:[1]
- Vipera aspis - (Linnaeus, 1758) - Asp viper.
- Bitis caudalis - (Smith, 1839) - Horned puff added.
