The newly-discovered species belongs to Acanthophis (Australian death adders), a genus of highly venomous snakes found in Australia and New Guinea, and also on several Indonesian islands to the west of New Guinea. Named the Kimberley death adder (Acanthophis cryptamydros), the snake is roughly 24 inches (60 cm) long and has a diamond-shaped head.
