1825 C. Waterton Wanderings in S. Amer. i. 12 The Labarri snake is speckled, of a dirty brown colour.

1889 J. Rodway In Guiana Wilds 76 It was a snake, and as its colour could be distinguished, he perceived that it must be the deadly labarria.

1903 Sci. Amer. 7 Mar. 176 In South America is found the Labarri (Elaps lemniscatus). The Labarri is usually found coiled on the stump of a tree.

1918 C. W. Beebe Jungle Peace (1919) viii. 188 ‘Huge labaria, yards long! Big as leg!’ The flight of queen bees and their swarms, the call to arms in a sleeping camp creates somewhat the commotion that the news of the bush-master aroused with us.

1958 J. Carew Wild Coast vi. 78 Only the small poisonous snakes like the labaria were really dangerous.

1968 Daily Tel. 24 July 20/4 The terrain is..full of dangerous snakes including the lethal labaria.

1994 B. Gilroy Sunlight on Sweet Water 53 Another time, he was given venom for ‘labari’ (or fer-de-lance) snakes.

2015 P. Briggs Suriname (Bradt Trav. Guides) 33 There are highly poisonous [snake] species including the labaria (Bothrops atrox), the bushmaster (Lachesis muta), [etc].
