  Snakes of Pakistan: Himalayan Pit Viper
The name Pit Viper comes from the pit like depressions behind the nostrils that function as heat sensors, making it possible for the snakes to locate warm-blooded prey, even in darkness.
Pit vipers are represented by a single species in Pakistan, belonging to genus Gloydius:

This is what happened to the snakes of the Gloydius species, a sort of rattlesnake without a rattle that lived in great numbers in this region.
These Gloydius snakes hunted land-dwelling prey such as rodents and rabbits, but they soon exterminated their prey, trapped as they were within such a restricted perimeter.
So to avoid dying of hunger they were obliged to change their hunting techniques, and it is assumed that, at that time, the snake population was decimated by famine.

 FEBS Abstract
For the newly identified N6-PLAs, the neuromuscular blocking activities were assayed with the chick biventer cervicis neuromuscular tissue, while the increased serum creatine kinase level assessed their myotoxicities.
The purified monomeric N6-PLAs from Protobothrops mangshanensis and Gloydius intermedius saxatilis were found to be pre-synaptic neurotoxins.
Crotoxin A is able to bind crotoxin B and the Protobothrops N6-PLAs thus increases their neurotoxicities.

Fukuda et al., Standardization of Regional Reference for Mamushi (Gloydius blomhoffii) Antivenom in Japan, Korea, and China
SUMMARY: The mamushi (Gloydius blomhoffii) snakes that inhabit Japan, Korea, and China produce venoms with similar serological characters to each other.
Individual domestic standard mamushi antivenoms have been used for national quality control (potency testing) of mamushi antivenom products in these countries, because of the lack of an international standard material authorized by the World Health Organization.

 Gloydius - Experts Forum at VenomousReptiles.org
Do you know what the official genus is? Ive heard both Gloydius and Agkistrodon.
For some good literature on Gloydius and other 'old' Agkistrodon species get Gloyd and Conant's "Snakes of the Agkistrodon Complex".
It is old (1990) and not taxonomically up-to-date but it is really good and surely the authority on the group.

Abstract Total RNAs were extracted from the venom gland of the snake Gloydius ussuriensis.
The cDNA of gussurobin, a thrombin-like enzyme from Gloydius ussuriensis, was cloned and amplified by RT-PCR.
Gussurobin [EC 3.4.21.7] is a thrombin-like enzyme from the venom of Gloydius ussuriensis (Chinese Viperdae).

 Neurotoxic activity of Gln49 phospholipase A(2) from Gloydius ussuriensis snake venom.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Neurotoxic activity of Gln49 phospholipase A(2) from Gloydius ussuriensis snake venom.
A novel neurotoxic protein phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)), molecular weight 13 881.83 Da, has been isolated from snake venom of Gloydius ussuriensis, named as Gln49-PLA(2), which shows weak lethal toxic, myotoxic and apparent anticoagulant activity, but lacks phospholipase activity.
The Gln49-PLA(2) obviously induced an increase of the pain threshold in intoxicated 615 mice compared with the control group, suggesting it is a neurotoxin.

This paper analyzed the phylogenetic relationships and classification of pit-vipersx (Viperidae, Crotalinae, Gloydius) which are distributed in China based on mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequence variations.
We have sequenced mtDNA cytochrome b gene 789 bp or 744 bp fragment from Gloydius saxatilis (Emelianov), Gloydius shedaoensis (Zhao), Gloydius strauchii (Bedriaga), Gloydius strauchii monticola (Werner), Gloydius ussurriensis (Emelianov), Trimeresurus stejnegeri Schmidt and Gloydius brevicaudus (Stejneger) from two different localities.
Our results support the following conclusions: (1) Gloydius origicnoted from two areas: northeast China and hengduan Montain area; (2) we discussed the origin of G.shedaoensis, and showed that is a subspecies of G.
