<p>We report on
a new population of <i>Vipera anatolica </i>from the Geyik Mountain Range in
eastern Antalya Province, Turkey. It represents only the second known location,
and is situated in a valley about 200 km east from the terra typica at Kohu
Da˘g in western Antalya Province. We compare both populations and, based on
marked differences in morphology, habitat, genetics, and its geographically
isolated location, we describe the recently discovered population as a new
subspecies. Aspects of ecology, threats, and conservation needs are discussed.</p>
