First distribution record of North Philippine Temple Pitviper (Tropidolaemus subannulatus Gray, 1842) on Cebu Island, Philippines
This paper presents the newly documented single specimen of the North Philippine temple pitviper (Tropidolaemus subannulatus), one of the venomous endemic snakes of the Philippines. The species has never been recorded in Cebu Island in the last two waves of survey in 1986 and 2016. It seemed that the microhabitat characteristics of Mt. Lantoy KBA, particularly the forest over limestone in Barangay Cansuje, is favoring the survival of T. subannulatus.
