E-mail: [email protected] Abstract We describe a new species of Cornufer, subgenus Batrachylodes, from high-elevation forests of New Britain Island in the Bismarck Archipelago of Eastern Melanesia. The new species, Cornufer exedrus sp. nov., is a biogeographically disjunct member of the Batrachylodes clade, representing the first record of the subgenus from outside of the Solomon Archipel- ago. The new species is a small terrestrial form from dense, closed-canopy forests above 1500 meters elevation in the Na- kanai Mountains of eastern New Britain. It differs from its closest relatives, the other members of the subgenus Batrachylodes, on the basis of its minute body size, degree of digital disc expansion, reduced subdigital tuberculation, color pattern, and other traits related to its small size.

These islands, which were under the British Protectorate at the out-break of the Japanese War in 1941, extend for about 800 miles in a southeast direction from the Bismarck Archipelago. They lie south of the equator, between 5° 24' and 10° 10' south longitude and 154° 38' and 161° 20' east longitude, which is well within the tropical zone.

By J. R. KINGHORN, C.M.Z.S. (Plates xiii-xv and Figures 1-35.) THE following paper is based on the collection of Solomon Islands reptiles and amphibians in the Australian Museum. The greater portion of this material has been added during the last three years by the efforts of Mr. N. S. Heffernan, District Officer at Ysabel Island, and Mr. C. E. Hart, of Gaudalcanar. In the past many 'papers have been written concerning the h~rpetology of the Solomons, but as they are scattered in many p,ublications, students are precluded from consulting them, unless they have the facilities of a reasonably complete library at their disposal. It was this which prompted me, while working through the collection, to assemble and modify previous descriptions, to republish old and add new figures, and to compile keys to the species, so that future workers will have a complete reference to the reptiles and amphibians of this group of islands.

Platymantis admiraltiensis sp. nov. and P. latro sp. nov. have been confused with P. gilliardi Zweifel, 1960 which is known with certainty only from New Britain in the Bismarck Archipelago. Platymantis admiraltiensis sp. nov. differs from P. gilliardi in its much longer legs (TL/SV 0.54–0.60 vs 0.51 in the holotype of P. gilliardi), and from all species of the morphologically conservative P. papuensis complex by its advertisement call, a long series of slowly- repeated (~ 0.4–1.9/s) yapping notes lasting up to 44 seconds.

Caesio cuning is a reef-associated artisanal fishery, making it an ideal species for assessing regional patterns of gene flow for evidence of speciation mechanisms as well as for regional management purposes. We evaluated the genetic population structure of Caesio cuning using a 382bp segment of the mitochondrial control region amplified from over 620 fish sampled from 33 localities across the Philippines and Indonesia.

Field Guide to the Amphibians and Turtles of the Deramakot and Tangkulap Pinangah Forest Reserves
Field guide to the amphibians and turtles of the Deramakot and Tangkulap Pinangah Forest Reserves Created by: Sami Asad, Victor Vitalis and Adi Shabrani INTRODUCTION The island of Borneo possesses a diverse array of amphibian species with more than 180 species currently described. Despite the high diversity of Bornean amphibians, data on their ecology, behaviour, life history and responses to disturbance are poorly understood. Amphibians play important roles within tropical ecosystems, providing prey for many species and predating invertebrates. This group is particularly sensitive to changes in habitat (particularly changes in temperature, water quality and micro-habitat availability). As such, the presence of a diverse amphibian community is a good indicator of a healthy forest ecosystem. The Deramakot (DFR) and Tangkulap Pinangah Forest Reserves (TPFR) are located in Sabah’s north Kinabatangan region (Figure. 1). The DFR is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and utilizes Reduced Impact Logging (RIL) techniques. The neighbouring TPFR has utilized Conventional Logging (CL) techniques. Conventional logging ceased in the TPFR in 2001, and the area’s forests are now at varying stages of regeneration. Previous research by the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (IZW), shows that these concessions support very high mammalian diversity. Figure. 1: Location of the Deramakot (DFR) and Tangkulap Pinangah Forest Reserves (TPFR) in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. Between the years 2017 – 2019, an amphibian and reptile research project conducted in collaboration between the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin (MfN), IZW and the Sabah Forestry Department (SFD) identified high amphibian diversity within the reserves. In total 52 amphibian species have been recorded (including one caecilian), constituting 27% of Borneo’s total amphibian diversity, comparable to two neighbouring unlogged sites (Maliau basin: 59 sp, Danum Valley: 55 sp).
