Three horned-scaled pitviper, Protobothrops sieversorum is a species of venomous pit viper. It was formerly placed in the monotypic genus Triceratolepidophis. Guo et al. (2007)[2] synonymised this genus with the genus Protobothrops, based on evidence that it is phylogenetically nested within the existing species of that genus.
