Explanation:

Meghalaya, the land of the mythical evil spirit that takes the form of a giant serpent called U Thlen, has yielded a new-to-science, venomous green snake.

Recorded simultaneously in Mizoram, the snake has been named Maya’s pit viper after the deceased mother of an Army officer, one of seven authors of a study on it.
The name of the pit viper is recognised as Trimeresurus mayaae.
The new species was relatively common in Meghalaya, Mizoram and even in Guwahati (Assam).

Hence both statements are correct.
