چکیده
Three families of venomous snake exist in Iran including Viperidae, Elapidae and Hydrophidae. Viperidae family is the only family with a widespread distribution. Saw scale Vibers are important poisonous snakes in Asia and Africa . This name is given to this snake, because of presence of obliquely keeled and serrated lateral body scale. Distributhion of this genera is mostly reported in center and south region of Iran. This genera has four main clades: the Echis carinatus, E. coloratus, E. ocellatus and E. pyramidum. Design pattern in species of Echis play an important role in camouflage and variety habitats .In the present report we investigated a specimen from East region of Iran In the present study we investigated 25 specimens of Echis which were collected from east region of our country . Among them the only specimen with different pattern was found that compared with other 24 specimens by surveying Meristic, mensural and design pattern characters using valid key identifications. The similarities between the specific Echis with different pattern and other 24 specimens was also studied and compared. The results of this investigation clearly showed that although the pattern of lateral white line and block on dorsal body of the specific Echis snake was different but since the Meristi and mensural characters were similar to other Echis snake hence it can be concluded that this specimen is not different species but the difference in these patterns may be due to a minor genetic mutation of that specimen. It is the first case report of Echis carinatus sochureki Stemmler, 1969 from Iran with different pattern.
