Agkistrodon bilineatus was known to occur in Honduras in four localities in the departments of Choluteca, Valle and Copan. Here we add Orealí (El Paraiso), near the “Yuscarán Biological Reserve.” Previous surveys suggested that this species was absent from the Honduras Pacific. These specimens are assigned to the subspecies Agkistrodon bilineatus howardgloydi based on scales and tail length.
