Bothrops lutzi, the Cerrado lancehead, is a species of venomous snake in the family Viperidae.[3] The species is endemic to Brazil.[4]
Etymology

The specific name, lutzi, is in honor of Adolfo Lutz of the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, who collected the type specimen, upon which Miranda-Ribeiro based his new species description. Adolfo Lutz was the father of Brazilian herpetologist Bertha Lutz.[5]
