Despite recent progress in our understanding of diversity within the genus   Trimeresurus   Lacépède, 1804, the subgenusPopeia   Malhotra &amp; Thorpe, 2004, distributed across most parts of East and Southeast Asia, remains taxonomically challenging. We applied an integrative taxonomic approach including analyses of morphological data and four mitochondrial genes ( 12S  and  16S  rRNA, cytochrome  b , and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4), along with examination of available type material, to address longstanding taxonomic questions in one clade within    Popeia   , the    T.   popeiorum    group, and reveal a high level of hidden diversity of these snakes in the Indo-Burma Biodiversity Hotspot. We confirm that    T.   popeiorum    Smith, 1937 sensu stricto is restricted to Northeast India, eastern Nepal, southern Bhutan, southeastern Bangladesh, western Yunnan Province (China), and northern and southwestern Myanmar. We further confirm that the recently described species    T.   yingjiangensis    Chen et al., 2019 is a junior synonym of    T.   popeiorum   . In addition, we discovered that the combination    Trimesurus    [sic]elegans    Gray, 1853 is a valid senior synonym of    T.   popeiorum    and threatens the stability of the latter taxon. Therefore, in order to protect the nomenpopeiorum    and in accordance with Article 23.9 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, we regard the taxon    Trimesurus   elegans    as a nomen oblitum and render    Trimeresurus   popeiorum    a nomen protectum. Examination of a larger series of specimens allows us to describe two new cryptic species of    Trimeresurus    from the Indo-Burma Region. This study brings the total number of species in the subgenusPopeia   to six and also suggests that the subspecific taxonomy of the    T.   sabahi    complex requires further investigation. We urge adequate actions regarding the conservation of the newly discovered species and recommend further studies on their toxicology.
