  • The Subspecies of Diplodactylus Spinigerus (Lacertilia: Gekkonidae)
    Rec. West. Aust. Mus. 1988.14(2): 177-182 The subspecies of Diplodactylus spinigerus (Lacertilia: Gekkonidae) G.M. Storr* Abstract The gecko Diplodactylus spinigerus is endemic to southern Western Australia. It is divisible into two subspecies: D. s. spinigerus Gray of the west coast and D. s. inornatus subsp. novo from further east. Introduction Diplodactylus spinigerus, a member of the subgenus Strophurus, is closely related to the Diplodactylus ciliaris complex (Storr 1988) and occupies that part of Western Australia which lies to the west and south of the southernmost members of the complex, namely D. assimilis and D. intermedius (see Figure 1). • D. s. spinigerus ... D. s. inornatus southern boundary of D. ciliaris complex • Figure I Map of southern Western Australia showing location of specimens of D. s. spinigerus and D. S. inornatus and of southern boundary of D. ciliaris complex. * Western Australian Museum, Francis Street, Perth, Western Australia 6000. 177 Subspecies of Diplodactylus spinigerus For some time naturalists have been aware that there was a considerable geog­ raphic gap and morphologic difference between the west coast and wheat belt populations of D. spinigerus. However, that gap (100-140 km wide) has proved not to mark the boundary between the two forms. The present revision has un­ expectedly revealed that it is the few kilometres between the top and bottom of the Darling Scarp that separate the two. This paper is based on specimens in the Western Australian Museum (R prefix omitted from catalogue numbers) and on colour slides kindly loaned by G. Harold, R.E.Johnstone, M. Peterson and B.

  • Revision of the Bearded Dragons (Lacertilia: Agamidae) of Western Australia with Notes on the Dismemberment of the Genus Amphibolurus
    Ree. West. Aust. Mus. 1982,10 (2): 199-214 Revision of the Bearded Dragons (Lacertilia: Agamidae) of Western Australia with Notes on the Dismemberment of the Genus Amphibolurus G.M. Storr* Abstract A new genus, Pogona, is proposed for the Amphibolurus barbatus species-group. In Western Australia it consists of P. minor minor (Sternfeld), P. minor minima (Lover­ idge) , P. minor mitchelli (Badham), P. microlepidota (Glauert) and P. nullarbor (Badham). These taxa are described and keyed. The remaining species of Amphibo­ lurus are transferred to Tympanocryptis, Gemmatophora and Ctenophorus. Introduction In preparation for a handbook on the dragon lizards of Western Australia I have had to look hard at the genera of Australian Agamidae in current usage, most of which have remained unchanged in concept for a century. If small or compact genera like Chlamydosaurus, Caimanops and Diporiphora are recognized, it becomes necessary to split the large and highly diversified Amphibolurus of authors and to restrict Amphibolurus Wagler to its type species A. muricatus (Shaw) and to the species most closely related to it, including the three usually placed in Lophognathus Gray. The merger of Amphibolurus and Lophognathus has already been proposed by Houston (1978), but the inclusion within Amphibolurus of numerous other lizards is no longer tenable. I believe that the closest relatives of Amphibolurus (sensu stricto) are Chlamy­ dosaurus, Caimanops and Diporiphora, which share with it the location of pores in the perforation of an enlarged femoral or pre-anal scale. If one includes the Amphibolurus barbatus, A. decresii, A. maculatus, A. caudicinctus, A. reticu­ latus and other species-groups in Amphibolurus, one must also include within it Diporiphora, Caimanops and Chlamydosaurus, the last of which (having priority) would become the name of the enlarged genus.

    IUCN Publications New Series No. 27 1973 United Nations List of National Parks and Equivalent Reserves Prepared by the Secretariat of IUCN with the advice and guidance of the IUCN International Commission on National Parks 19 4 8 International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources 1110 Morges, Switzerland 1973 The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) is an independent international body, formed in 1948, which has its headquarters in Morges, Switzerland. It is a Union of sovereign states, govern- ment agencies and non-governmental organizations concerned with the initia- tion and promotion of scientifically-based action that will ensure perpetuation of the living world - man's natural environment - and the natural resources on which all living things depend, not only for their intrinsic cultural or scientific values but also for the long-term economic and social welfare of mankind. This objective can be achieved through active conservation programmes for the wise use of natural resources based on scientific principles. IUCN believes that its aims can be achieved most effectively by international effort in cooperation with other international agencies, such as Unesco and FAO. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is an international charitable organization dedicated to saving the world's wildlife and wild places, carrying out the wide variety of programmes and actions that this entails. WWF was established in 1961 under Swiss law, with headquarters also in Morges. Since 1961, IUCN has enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with its sister organiza- tion, the World Wildlife Fund, with which it works closely throughout the world on projects of mutual interest.
