Remarks.
The Arabian Horned Viper is a very common species across the sand deserts of the Arabian Peninsula ( Gasperetti 1988). In the Eastern Province, it was collected from several localities ( Martens 1996; Haas 1957, 1961; Aloufi et al. 2023; Al-Sadoon 2010; Leviton and Anderson 1967). In the islands of the Arabian Gulf, this species was reported from Auhha Island, Kuwait ( Amr et al. 2021).
