From the sympatric (or parapatric) Vipera mauritanica the new subspecies differs in colour pattern (V. mauritanica has a wavy zig-zag band containing 23 to 33 win- dings; V. I. transmediterránea has 34 to 41 transverse bands), the midbody scale rows are 25 in V. I. transmediterránea, 27 in V. mauritanica; the number of scale rows on the neck is around 24 in V. I. transmediterránea, between 26 and 27 in V. mauritanica; the number of ventrals is 150 to 164 in female and 154 to 163 in male V. I. transmediterránea, 157 to 174 in female and 163 to 170 in male V. mauritanica; the number of subcaudals is between 37 and 43 in female V. I. transmediterránea, and between 45 and 48 in female V. mauritanica; corresponding figures for males are be- tween 42 to 51 and 45 to 50 respectively. Maximum length for both sexes is cm. Relative tail length in the two males are and % of total length, while corresponding figures in the two adult females are and %..
