It does repeat, but my guess would be that it is demonstrating how different source references can often give slightly different information. -

Precisely! The distributions for some species are complex and confusing. In this case I included information from several sources (see the reference links) just to show how opinions differ. Now the readers can make up their own minds about who to believe. --

Classification
This animal has been reclassified to Cryptelytrops albolobris, as of Malhorta and Thorpe's study in 2004.
I do not know how to change the title of the page.
That's fine, but the decision was made in 2006 to follow the ITIS taxonomy for all of these articles. ITIS does not recognize Cryptelytrops, although it probably will in due time. Patience! --

Requested move 6 September 2021
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Oppose, also known as "white-lipped tree viper", and none of the databases in the taxonbar have the form "white-lipped pit viper" (several do have "white-lipped pitviper" with no space between "pit" and "viper"). No evidence presented that proposed title is the one "true common name".

Regarding "pit viper" versus "pitviper", that is clearly a minor matter of styling, and Wikipedia tends to include the space (in titles). We have an article at "
Pit viper" and we also have some other (dab) pages that have titles that include "pit viper" (
Green pit viper,
Hump-nosed pit viper,
Mongolian pit viper), although we seem to have no other articles that use that. We do not have any articles or dab pages that have "pitviper" in their titles. "Pit viper" also seems much more common than "pitviper" in general outside of Wikipedia – Google advanced search and Google ngram viewer both find "pit viper" much more common than "pitviper". Also, currently the body of the article primarily uses "pit viper" rather than "tree viper", and Google advanced search gets about twice as many hits for "White-lipped pit viper" than for "White-lipped tree viper". However, I notice that both Google advanced search and Google ngram viewer actually show more results for "Trimeresurus albolabris"! —

Oppose per Plantdrew - the taxonbar suggests "tree viper" is more common, and the "approximate results" numbers in Google are often wildly inaccurate. The regular Google search "estimated hits" are useless here, but GScholar results are not useless and lean towards "pit viper". It is not clear to me there is a "common name" for this species in English.

Trimeresurus albolabris, the white-lipped pit viper or white-lipped tree viper, is a
venomouspit viperspecies endemic to
Southeast Asia. Its meals consist of birds, small frogs, and small
mammals. This snake does not strike and release its prey; like many arboreal snakes, it strikes and holds on to the prey item until the prey dies.
