New material of Agama agama Linnaeus, 758 from Mount Hanang, Tanzania is indistingu- ishable from the type material of Agama agama turuensis Loveridge, 932, a taxon which is so far con- sidered to be a synonym of Agama lionotus elgonis Lönnberg, 922. Our comparative morphological study demonstrates turuensis is most similar to Agama mwanzae Loveridge, 923 and Agama kaimosae Loveridge, 935, and distinct from both A. agama and A. lionotus Boulenger, 896. Agama turuensis can likewise neither be assigned to A. mwanzae nor A. kaimosae but has to be rather considered as a dis- tinct species. Key words.

  • Movement and Habitat Use by Adult and Juvenile Toad-Headed Agama Lizards (Phrynocephalus Versicolor Strauch, 1876) in the Eastern Gobi Desert, Mongolia
    Herpetology Notes, volume 12: 717-719 (2019) (published online on 07 July 2019) Movement and habitat use by adult and juvenile Toad-headed Agama lizards (Phrynocephalus versicolor Strauch, 1876) in the eastern Gobi Desert, Mongolia Douglas Eifler1,* and Maria Eifler1,2 Introduction From 0700–1900 h we walked slowly throughout the study area in search of Toad-headed Agama lizards Phrynocephalus versicolor Strauch, 1876 is a (Phrynocephalus versicolor).

  • Stellio' in Herpetology and a Comment on the Nomenclature and Taxonomy of Agamids of the Genus Agama (Sensu Lato) (Squamata: Sauria: Agamidae)
    ©Österreichische Gesellschaft für Herpetologie e.V., Wien, Austria, download unter www.biologiezentrum.at HERPETOZOA 8 (1/2): 3 - 9 Wien, 30. Juli 1995 A brief review of the origin and use of 'stellio' in herpetology and a comment on the nomenclature and taxonomy of agamids of the genus Agama (sensu lato) (Squamata: Sauria: Agamidae) Kurzübersicht über die Herkunft und Verwendung von "stellio" in der Herpetologie und Kommentar zur Nomenklatur und Taxonomie von Agamen, Gattung Agama (sensu lato) (Squamata: Sauria: Agamidae) KLAUS HENLE ABSTRACT The name 'stellio' has received a wide and variable application in herpetology. Its use antedates modern nomenclature. The name was applied mainly to various agamid and gekkonid species. In modern usage, confu- sion exists primarily with its use as a genus, i. e., Siellio. To solve this problem, STEJNEGER (1936) desig- nated Siellio saxatilis of LAURENTI, 1768 which is based on a figure in SEBA (1734) as the type species. This species is unidentifiable. In an unpublished thesis, MOODY (1980) split the genus Agama (s. 1.) into six genera. He overlooked STEJNEGER's (1936) designation and reused Stellio for the stellio-group of agamid lizards. Many authors followed MOODY (1980). Recently, some authors pointed out that Siellio is unavailable but did not fully dis- cuss the implications for agamid nomenclature. It is argued that a satisfactory nomenclature is difficult with current knowledge of agamid taxonomy. It is suggested to restrict Laudakia to L. tuberculata and to use Ploce- denna for the stellio-group (sensu stricto). KURZFASSUNG Der Name "stellio" sah eine breite und vielfältige Verwendung in der Herpetologie, die weit über die moderne Nomenklatur zurückreicht.

  • The Herpetofauna of the Cubango, Cuito, and Lower Cuando River Catchments of South-Eastern Angola
    Official journal website: Amphibian & Reptile Conservation amphibian-reptile-conservation.org 10(2) [Special Section]: 6–36 (e126). The herpetofauna of the Cubango, Cuito, and lower Cuando river catchments of south-eastern Angola 1,2,*Werner Conradie, 2Roger Bills, and 1,3William R. Branch 1Port Elizabeth Museum (Bayworld), P.O. Box 13147, Humewood 6013, SOUTH AFRICA 2South African Institute for Aquatic Bio- diversity, P/Bag 1015, Grahamstown 6140, SOUTH AFRICA 3Research Associate, Department of Zoology, P O Box 77000, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, Port Elizabeth 6031, SOUTH AFRICA Abstract.—Angola’s herpetofauna has been neglected for many years, but recent surveys have revealed unknown diversity and a consequent increase in the number of species recorded for the country. Most historical Angola surveys focused on the north-eastern and south-western parts of the country, with the south-east, now comprising the Kuando-Kubango Province, neglected. To address this gap a series of rapid biodiversity surveys of the upper Cubango-Okavango basin were conducted from 2012‒2015. This report presents the results of these surveys, together with a herpetological checklist of current and historical records for the Angolan drainage of the Cubango, Cuito, and Cuando Rivers. In summary 111 species are known from the region, comprising 38 snakes, 32 lizards, five chelonians, a single crocodile and 34 amphibians. The Cubango is the most western catchment and has the greatest herpetofaunal diversity (54 species). This is a reflection of both its easier access, and thus greatest number of historical records, and also the greater habitat and topographical diversity associated with the rocky headwaters.

  • History of Classifications and Phylogenies the Arid Corridor From
    APPENDIX Abstracts of presentations hold on DEAGAMIS the 1ST INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON AGAMID LIZARDS ORAL PRESENTATIONS History of Classifications and Phylogenies Scott M. MOODY Department of Biological Science, Irvine Hall, Ohio University, Athens, OH, 45701, USA; Email: [email protected]. DARWIN in his 1859 “Origin of species ...” eloquently demonstrated that taxonomic classifications could (and should) reflect the past evolutionary history of higher taxa and relationships of the extant species. However the major her- petological works, for example, BOULENGER’s Catalogue of Lizards, published over the next 100 years did not attempt reconstructions of phylogeny. Indeed BOULENGER reversed the earlier named (now recognized again) genera and high- er taxa proposed especially by W. PETERS and L. FITZINGER. Although, CAMP (Classification of Lizards, 1923) and HENNIG (Revision of Draco, 1936) published pioneering works (they were decades ahead of others) the taxonomic herpetologists ignored them until the “rebirth” of phylogenetic systematics in the 1960’s and 1970’s. MOODY (1980) published a phylogenetic analysis based on 122 morphological characters and reviewed the historical biogeography of the agamid genera and proposed several subfamilies. Within the past two decades beginning with JOGER (1991, a molecular phylogeny of agamid lizards) several workers have employed molecular analyses. The hypothesized mo- lecular phylogenies by MACEY, LARSON, ANANJEVA, PAPENFUSS, OTA, HONDA, SCHULTE and MELVILLE will be com- pared with my original and revised morphologically based hypotheses. The controversy over the familial status of the various higher taxa within the “acrodont” section of the suborder Iguania that ensued following FROST & ETHERIDGE (1989) also will be reviewed.

This is a consequence of (2013a) summarised the herpetofauna of the inselbergs the physical inaccessibility of the region as well as the of northern Mozambique, they overlooked the valuable protracted civil war, which affected the study of many amphibian collections in the technical report by Branch areas. Mozambique is expected to have a large diversity (2004) from Niassa Game Reserve and the herpetofaunal of herpetofauna due to the variety of different habitat collections from Mount Mabu (Timberlake et al., 2012), types available and the large size (area) of the country. which led to underestimation and incorrect accounts of The lack of scientific studies of northern Mozambique the herpetofaunal diversity of the montane inselbergs of has led to widely disparate and inaccurate summaries northern Mozambique. of the herpetofaunal diversity of the country.
