The Kimberley death adder (Acanthophis cryptamydros) is a species of venomous snake in the family Elapidae native to northwestern Australia. Richard Wells and Ross Wellington gave the Kimberley death adder its scientific name Acanthophis lancasteri—in honour of Burt Lancaster—in a 1985 monograph, citing as the type specimen an adult collected 45 kilometres (28 mi) north-northeast of Halls Creek in Western Australia. They cited a 1981 paper by Glen Milton Storr, who had written about death adders of Western Australia.
Acanthophis es un género de serpientes extremadamente venenosas de la familia Elapidae. Son comúnmente llamadas víboras de la muerte, a pesar de no ser víboras y que su parecido se deba a una convergencia evolutiva. Son nativas de Australia, Nueva Guinea e islas cercanas, y están entre las más venenosas del mundo.
