Víbora da morte
Death Adders (Genus Acanthophis) are found in most parts of Australia, New Guinea and adjacent islands. They are unusual among the elapids in that they have evolved to become viperine in appearance and habit. All species are characterised by a broad somewhat flattened, triangular head, short stout body and a thin rat-like body ending in a curved spine. The spine and the presence of subocular scales separates Acanthophis from all other Australasian elapids.

cobra "Genus Acanthophis"
uma opcao segura, se nao houver um nome "popular" em PT, é usar o nome científico colocando-o entre aspas ou em itálico: cobra "Genus Acanthophis"

cobra * death adder* ( Acanthopis antarcticus)
Como não encontro um tradução Pt-Pt, eu deixaria ficar em inglês com o nome científico entre parênteses e com indicação do lugar onde se encontra (isto, se ainda não estiver indicado no texto).
