The Southern Smooth Snake, Coronella Girondica (Daudin, 1803), in North-East Italy: New Findings and a Review of the Historical Distribution Herpetology Notes, volume 13: 543-548 (2020) (published online on 08 July 2020) The Southern Smooth Snake, Coronella girondica (Daudin, 1803), in North-East Italy: new findings and a review of the historical distribution Daniel L. N. Iversen1, Karol Tabarelli de Fatis1, Antonio Romano1, Paolo Pedrini1, and Matteo R. Di Nicola2,* The Southern Smooth Snake Coronella girondica Dalla Torre, in his work “Die Schlangen Tirols” (1912), (Daudin, 1803) is a monotypic species with a indicates numerous finds of C. girondica in the southern Mediterranean (West-Mediterranean) chorotype areas of the Province of Trento, which occurred between (Sindaco et al., 2013). Its distribution includes North- the mid-1800s and the beginning of the 1900s. West Africa and South-West Europe, ranging from the Data of ten specimens from seven localities within Iberian Peninsula to Mediterranean France and up to the Autonomous Province of Trento (four of which the central and north-eastern regions of Italy, where it are attributable to the 20th century) are catalogued in is mainly distributed on the Tyrrhenian side (Razzetti the Natural History Museum Vienna, 1st Zoological & Bonini, 2006; Razzetti & Bernini, 2011; Di Nicola et Department, Herpetological Collection. Some al., 2019) (Fig. 1). The presence of the species in North- specimens are deposited in the Fondazione Museo East Italy, reported in the past for the areas around Lake Garda, was lacking in recent confirmations: Razzetti & Bernini (2011) assumed that C. girondica had probably disappeared from that area. The other eastern records turned out to be doubtful or unverified (Bonato et al., 2007; Razzetti & Bernini, 2011). For example, the two easternmost findings present in the literature are probably attributable to labelling errors or due to imported individuals, particularly considering the environmental unsuitability of the finding areas: a single record from Chirignago, Venezia, in a low plain context near the Venetian lagoon (Bonato et al., 2007) and a single record from Chialina, Udine, in an Alpine environment (Vanni & Lanza, 1982; Razzetti & Bernini, 2011). In reference to the areas around Lake Garda, the first historical reports attesting the presence of C. girondica are attributable to Massalongo (1854), De Betta (1857) and Gredler (1882). 1 MUSE – Museo delle Scienze, Corso del Lavoro e della Figure 1.

    THE HERPETOLOGICAL BULLETIN The Herpetological Bulletin is produced quarterly and publishes, in English, a range of articles concerned with herpetology. These include society news, full-length papers, new methodologies, natural history notes, book reviews, letters from readers and other items of general herpetological interest. Emphasis is placed on natural history, conservation, captive breeding and husbandry, veterinary and behavioural aspects. Articles reporting the results of experimental research, descriptions of new taxa, or taxonomic revisions should be submitted to The Herpetological Journal (see inside back cover for Editor’s address). Guidelines for Contributing Authors: 1. See the BHS website for a free download of the Bulletin showing Bulletin style. A template is available from the BHS website www.thebhs.org or on request from the Editor. 2. Contributions should be submitted by email or as text files on CD or DVD in Windows® format using standard word-processing software. 3.

  • A Review of the Taxonomy of the European Colubrid Snake Genera Natrix and Coronella, with the Creation of Three New Monotypic Genera (Serpentes:Colubridae)
    58 Australasian Journal of Herpetology Australasian Journal of Herpetology 12:58-62. ISSN 1836-5698 (Print) ISSN 1836-5779 (Online) Published 30 April 2012. A review of the taxonomy of the European Colubrid snake genera Natrix and Coronella, with the creation of three new monotypic genera (Serpentes:Colubridae). RAYMOND T. HOSER 488 Park Road, Park Orchards, Victoria, 3134, Australia. Phone: +61 3 9812 3322 Fax: 9812 3355 E-mail: [email protected] Received 2 March 2012, Accepted 8 April 2012, Published 30 April 2012. ABSTRACT There have been several phylogenetic studies involving the Keeled Snakes of genus Natrix and Smooth Snakes of genus Coronella as recognized at start 2012. The exact status of each genus in terms of species composition has been the subject of argument among taxonomists, including whether or not well-recognized species such as N. tessellata, N. natrix and C. girondica are actually composites of several similar species. Within the last decade, several studies have shown the divergence between the three members of the genus Natrix to be from 12 to 27 million years ago (Guicking et. al. 2006), and probably further back for the three extant members of the genus Coronella (see comparative results in Pyron et. al. 2011). As a result each genus is subdivided three ways. Natrix natrix remains as the sole taxon in that genus. N. maura is placed within a new genus Jackyhosernatrix gen. nov. and N. tessellata is placed in the new genus Guystebbinsus gen. nov. Coronella austriaca remains as the sole taxon in that genus, while C. brachyura is placed in the genus Wallophis Werner, 1929, and C.
