  • Agamid Lizards of the Genera Caimanops, Physignathus and Diporiphora in Western Australia and Northern Territory

    Agamid Lizards of the Genera Caimanops, Physignathus and Diporiphora in Western Australia and Northern Territory

    Rec. West. Aust. Mus., 1974, 3 (2) AGAMID LIZARDS OF THE GENERA CAIMANOPS, PHYSIGNATHUS AND DIPORIPHORA IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA AND NORTHERN TERRITORY G.M. STORR [Received 11 February 1974. Accepted 15 February 1974] ABSTRACT Caimanopsgen. novo is proposed for Diporiphora amphiboluroides Lucas & Frost. The following species and subspecies ofPhysignathus and Diporiphora are studied: P. longirostris (Boulenger), P. temporalis (Giinther), P. g. gilberti (Gray), P. g. centralis Loveridge, D. convergens nov., D. a. albilabris nov., D. a. sobria nov., D. b. bennettii (GraY), D. b. arnhemica nov., D. magna nov., D. lalliae nov., D. reginae Glauert, D. winneckei Lucas & Frost, D. b. bilineata Gray, D. b. margaretae nov., and D. superba novo INTRODUCTION Recent collections have made it increasingly clear that there are many more species of Diporiphora in the far north of Western Australia than previously believed. The main purpose of this paper is to define these additional species of Diporiphora. Because juvenile Physignathus have often been mistaken for Diporiphora, that genus has been included in this study, and so too has Caimanops gen. nov., whose single species was long placed in Diporiphora. Generally Western Australian species of reptiles seldom extend further east than about longitude 140o E. Brief study of Queensland material showed that Diporiphora and Physignathus were not exceptional in this respect and that most, if not all, specimens belonged to different species or subspecies. It therefore seemed unnecessary to include the Eastern States species in this account of the Western species. The three species of Physignathus and single species of Caimanops are strongly characterized, and their identification should present students with no problems.
  • Guidelines for Keeping Venomous Snakes in the NT

    Guidelines for Keeping Venomous Snakes in the NT

    GUIDELINES FOR KEEPING VENOMOUS SNAKES IN THE NT Venomous snakes are potentially dangerous to humans, and for this reason extreme caution must be exercised when keeping or handling them in captivity. Prospective venomous snake owners should be well informed about the needs and requirements for keeping these animals in captivity. Permits The keeping of protected wildlife in the Northern Territory is regulated by a permit system under the Territory Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act 2006 (TPWC Act). Conditions are included on permits, and the Parks and Wildlife Commission of the Northern Territory (“PWCNT”) may issue infringement notices or cancel permits if conditions are breached. A Permit to Keep Protected Wildlife enables people to legally possess native vertebrate animals in captivity in the Northern Territory. The permit system assists the PWCNT to monitor wildlife kept in captivity and to detect any illegal activities associated with the keeping of, and trade in, native wildlife. Venomous snakes are protected throughout the Northern Territory and may not be removed from the wild without the appropriate licences and permits. People are required to hold a Keep Permit (Category 1–3) to legally keep venomous snakes in the Northern Territory. Premises will be inspected by PWCNT staff to evaluate their suitability prior to any Keep Permit (Category 1– 3) being granted. Approvals may also be required from local councils, the Northern Territory Planning Authority, and the Department of Health and Community Services. Consignment of venomous snakes between the Northern Territory and other States and Territories can only be undertaken with an appropriate import / export permit. There are three categories of venomous snake permitted to be kept in captivity in the Northern Territory: Keep Permit (Category 1) – Mildly Dangerous Venomous Keep Permit (Category 2) – Dangerous Venomous Keep Permit (Category 3) – Highly Dangerous Venomous Venomous snakes must be obtained from a legal source (i.e.

Jones1,2 1Suburban Wildlife Research Group, Australian School of Environmental Studies, Griffith University, Nathan, Qld. 4111, Australia. 2Corresponding author: Darryl Jones, [email protected] The Asian House Gecko Hemidactylus frenatus is an internationally significant invasive reptile which T has spread rapidly though the Pacific and elsewhere and has been implicated in the decline and extinction of a number of native gecko species. Although present in Darwin for some time, the C species has only recently become widespread in the Brisbane region. We investigated the density A and distribution of this and two native house-dwelling geckos in urban, suburban and bushland R environments within Brisbane. The spatially clumped insect resources associated with external light T sources were effectively utilised by both urban and suburban populations of Asian House Geckos, S suggesting likely competitive interactions between the species on structures where the species co-existed.

    NOTES ON THE ECOLOGY AND NATURAL HISTORY OF CTENOPHORUS CAUDICINCTUS (AGAMIDAE) IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA By ERIC R. PIANKA Integrative Biology University of Texas at Austin Austin, Texas 78712 USA Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Ecological data on the saxicolous agamid Ctenophorus caudicinctus are presented. These lizards never stray far from rocks. They forage on the ground but retreat to rock crevices when threatened. Most were above ground (mean = 83 cm, N = 41). Active early and late in the day during summer, they thermoregulate actively with an average body temperature of 37.2°C. They are dietary specialists eating mostly termites and ants, but also some vegetation. Clutch size varies from 3 to 7, averaging 5.36. Males are slightly larger than females. INTRODUCTION Strophurus wellingtonae, Rhynchoedura ornata and Varanus Ctenophorus caudicinctus is giganteus. These data were widespread in northern Western augmented with Ctenophorus Australia, the Northern Territory caudicinctus from a few other and eastern Queensland (Cogger localities. 2000, Storr 1967). During 1966– 1968, we sampled a population of these agamids on rock outcrops METHODS at a granitic tor area 71 km South of Wiluna on the west side of the We recorded air and body road to Sandstone (Lat. 27° 05' x temperatures, activity time, Long. 119° 37'). Ctenophorus microhabitat, fresh snout-vent caudicinctus was far and away the length (SVL), tail length, and most abundant species. Other weight for as many lizards as lizard species found at this site possible. Stomach contents were included Ctenophorus nuchalis, identified and prey volumes Ctenotus leonhardii, Ctenotus estimated for all lizards collected.

Biologic Environmental Survey, 24–26 Wickham St, East Perth, Western Australia 6004, Australia. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT – The Western Australian Museum holds a vast collection of specimens representing a large portion of the 106 currently recognised taxa of dragon lizards (family Agamidae) known to occur across Australia. While the museum’s collection is dominated by Western Australian species, it also contains a selection of specimens from localities in other Australian states and a small selection from outside of Australia. Currently the museum’s collection contains 18,914 agamid specimens representing 89 of the 106 currently recognised taxa from across Australia and 27 from outside of Australia. This includes 824 type specimens representing 45 currently recognised taxa and three synonymised taxa, comprising 43 holotypes, three syntypes and 779 paratypes. Of the paratypes, a total of 43 specimens have been gifted to other collections, disposed or could not be located and are considered lost. An annotated catalogue is provided for all agamid type material currently and previously maintained in the herpetological collection of the Western Australian Museum. KEYWORDS: type specimens, holotype, syntype, paratype, dragon lizard, nomenclature. INTRODUCTION Australia was named by John Edward Gray in 1825, The Agamidae, commonly referred to as dragon Clamydosaurus kingii Gray, 1825 [now Chlamydosaurus lizards, comprises over 480 taxa worldwide, occurring kingii (Gray, 1825)].
