Bothrops lanceolatus — known as the fer-de-lance, Martinican pit viper,[3] and Martinique lancehead[1][4][5] — is a species of pit viper endemic to the Caribbean island of Martinique.[1][4] Some reserve the common name fer-de-lance for this species, while others apply that name to other Bothrops species as well. No subspecies are currently recognized.[4][6]
