Liner Houma, Louisiana smithsonian herpetological information service no. 127 2000 SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVICE The SHIS series publishes and distributes translations, bibliographies, indices, and similar items judged useful to individuals interested in the biology of amphibians and reptiles, but unlikely to be published in the normal technical journals. Single copies are distributed free to interested individuals. Libraries, herpetological associations, and research laboratories are invited to exchange their publications with the Division of Amphibians and Reptiles. We wish to encourage individuals to share their bibliographies, translations, etc. with other herpetologists through the SHIS series. If you have such items please contact George Zug for instructions on preparation and submission. Contributors receive 50 free copies. Please address all requests for copies and inquiries to George Zug, Division of Amphibians and Reptiles, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC 20560 USA. Please include a self-addressed mailing label with requests. Introduction Hobart M. Smith is one of herpetology's most prolific autiiors. As of 30 June 1999, he authored or co-authored 1367 publications covering a range of scholarly and popular papers dealing with such diverse subjects as taxonomy, life history, geographical distribution, checklists, nomenclatural problems, bibliographies, herpetological coins, anatomy, comparative anatomy textbooks, pet books, book reviews, abstracts, encyclopedia entries, prefaces and forwords as well as updating volumes being repnnted. The checklists of the herpetofauna of Mexico authored with Dr. Edward H. Taylor are legendary as is the Synopsis of the Herpetofalhva of Mexico coauthored with his late wife, Rozella B.

  • Xenosaurus Tzacualtipantecus. the Zacualtipán Knob-Scaled Lizard Is Endemic to the Sierra Madre Oriental of Eastern Mexico
    Xenosaurus tzacualtipantecus. The Zacualtipán knob-scaled lizard is endemic to the Sierra Madre Oriental of eastern Mexico. This medium-large lizard (female holotype measures 188 mm in total length) is known only from the vicinity of the type locality in eastern Hidalgo, at an elevation of 1,900 m in pine-oak forest, and a nearby locality at 2,000 m in northern Veracruz (Woolrich- Piña and Smith 2012). Xenosaurus tzacualtipantecus is thought to belong to the northern clade of the genus, which also contains X. newmanorum and X. platyceps (Bhullar 2011). As with its congeners, X. tzacualtipantecus is an inhabitant of crevices in limestone rocks. This species consumes beetles and lepidopteran larvae and gives birth to living young. The habitat of this lizard in the vicinity of the type locality is being deforested, and people in nearby towns have created an open garbage dump in this area. We determined its EVS as 17, in the middle of the high vulnerability category (see text for explanation), and its status by the IUCN and SEMAR- NAT presently are undetermined. This newly described endemic species is one of nine known species in the monogeneric family Xenosauridae, which is endemic to northern Mesoamerica (Mexico from Tamaulipas to Chiapas and into the montane portions of Alta Verapaz, Guatemala). All but one of these nine species is endemic to Mexico.

  • Intrageneric Relationships Among Colubrid Snakes of the Genus Geophis Wagler
    MISCELLANEOUS PUBLICATIONS MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, NO. 131 Intrageneric Relationships Among Colubrid Snakes of the Genus Geophis Wagler BY FLOYD LESLIE DOWNS College of Wooster, Wooster, Ohio ANN ARBOR MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN JULY 26, 1967 MISCELLANEOUS PUBLICATIONS MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN The publications of the Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan, consist of two series-the Occasional Papers and the Miscellaneous Publications. Both series were founded by Dr. Bryant Walker, Mr. Bradshaw H. Swales, and Dr. W. W. Newcomb. The Occasional Papers, publication of which was begun in 1913, serve as a medium for original studies bascd principally upon the collections in the Museum. Thcy are issued separately. When a sufficient number of pages has been printed to make a volume, a title page, table of contents, and an index are supplied to libraries and indi- viduals on the mailing list for the series. The Miscellaneous Publications, which include papers on field and museum techniques, monographic studies, and other contributions not within the scope of the Occasional Papers, are published separtely. It is not intended that they be grouped into volumes. Each number has a title page and, when necessary, a table of contents. A complete list of publications on Birds, Fishes, Insects, Mammals, Mollusks, and Reptiles and Amphibians is available. Address inquiries to the Director, Museum of Zoology, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

  • New Cryptic Species of Atractus (Serpentes: Dipsadidae) from Brazilian Amazonia
    Copeia 2010, No. 3, 397–404 New Cryptic Species of Atractus (Serpentes: Dipsadidae) from Brazilian Amazonia Ana L. C. Prudente1 and Paulo Passos2 A new species of Atractus, previously reported as a disjunct population of A. zidoki south of the Amazon River, differs from all congeners in having an undivided sulcus spermaticus. Herein, we restrict the concept of A. zidoki to populations north of the Amazon River, provide a detailed description of its everted hemipenis, and describe a new species to accommodate the population occurring to the south of the Amazon River. Additionally, we briefly discuss intraspecific variation and the systematic value of the hemipenis structure in snakes, mainly with respect to the genus Atractus. Uma nova espe´cie de Atractus, reportada previamente como uma populac¸a˜o disjunta de A. zidoki ao sul do Rio Amazonas, difere de todos congeˆneres por apresentar o sulco esperma´tico simples. Aqui no´ s restringimos o conceito de A. zidoki a`s populac¸o˜es ao norte do Rio Amazonas, fornecemos uma descric¸a˜o acurada do seu hemipeˆnis evertido e descrevemos uma nova espe´cie para acomodar a populac¸a˜o ao sul do Rio Amazonas. Adicionalmente, no´ s discutimos brevemente a variac¸a˜o intra-especı´fica e o valor sistema´tico de estruturas hemipenianas das serpentes, sobretudo com respeito ao geˆnero Atractus. HE cryptozoic and fossorial snake genus Atractus is testicles in males (Shine, 1994). Measurements were taken widely distributed in South America, occurring from with a dial caliper to the nearest 0.1 mm under a T Panama to Argentina (Giraudo and Scrocchi, 2000; stereoscope, except for snout–vent (SVL) and caudal lengths Myers, 2003).

  • Porthidium Dunni (Hartweg and Oliver, 1938)
    Porthidium dunni (Hartweg and Oliver, 1938). Dunn’s Hognosed Pitviper is a “priority two species” that has been assessed Environmental Vulnerability Score of 16 (see the following article). This pitviper is found primarily at low elevations along the foothills of the Sierra Madre del Sur physiographic region and the coastal plain of the Planicie Costera del Pacífico and Planicie Costera de Tehuantepec physiographic regions (Mata-Silva et al., 2015b) in southern Oaxaca and extreme western Chiapas, Mexico. This individual was found ca. 3.6 km NNW of La Soledad, Municipio de Villa de Tututepec de Melchor Ocampo, Oaxaca.

Humans, however, have created and are faced with the consequences of an interrelated set of problems that impact all of these spheres, including the biosphere. The decline in the diversity of life is a problem of global dimensions resulting from a sixth mass extinction episode created by humans.

Campbell and Linda S. Ford Snakes of the genus Adelphicos are widely distributed in south- ern Mexico and northern Central America. Adelphicos quadrivir- gatus occurs on the Atlantic versant and coastal plain from the foothills of central Veracruz, Mexico, through Guatemala and Be- lice, exclusive of the outer Yucatan Peninsula; and on the Pacific versant from central Oaxaca, Mexico, into central Guatemala. This species ranges from about sea level to 1400 m in a variety of habitats including lowland rainforest and quasirainforest, lower montane dry and lower montane forest for of forest, wet ( chorography vegetation complexes see Stuart, 1966:692). Adelphicos (fuadrivirgatus is dis- tinctive from all highland populations of Adelphicos by having chin shields that are greatly expanded toward the lip and in the anterior position of the first ventral that is generally at the level of the labials . posteriormost ( Smith, 1942 ) Disjunct populations of Adelphicos occur in the Middle Ameri- can highlands at elevations of 1200-2200 m on the Sierra Madre de Chiapas in extreme southeastern Oaxaca, the Meseta Central of Chiapas, the Sierra de los Cuchumatanes, and the Sierra de las Minas and neighboring mountains in Guatemala (Fig. 1). The various allopatric populations of highland Adelphicos are isolated in humid pine-oak or cloud forests and are differentiated from each other in characters of squamation, color, pattern, osteology, and body proportions.

  • A Checklist of the Herpetofauna of Guatemala
    MISCELLANEOUS PUBLICATIONS MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, NO. 122 A Checklist of the Herpetofauna of Guatemala L. C. STUART Department of Zoology ANN ARBOR MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN APRIL 2, 1963 MISCELLANEOUS PUBLICATIONS MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN The publications of the Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan, consist of two series-the Occasional Papers and the Miscellaneous Publications. Both series were founded by Dr. Bryant Walker, Mr. Bradshaw H. Swales, and Dr. W. W. Newcomb. The Occasional Papers, publication of which was begun in 1913, serve as a medium for original studies based principally upon the collections in the Museum. They are issued separately. When a sufficient number of pages has been printed to make a volume, a title page, table of contents, and an index are supplied to libraries and indi- viduals on the mailing list for the series. The Miscellaneous Publications, which include papers on field and museum tech- niques, monographic studies, and other contributions not within the scope of the Occasional Papers, are published separately. It is not intended that they be grouped into volumes. Each number has a title page and, when necessary, a table of contents. A complete list of publications on Birds, Fishes. Insects. Mammals, Mollusks, and Reptiles and Amphibians is available. Address inquiries to the Director, Museum of Zoology, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

  • Proceedings of the United States National Museum
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM Vol. 93 Washington: 1943 No. 3169 SUMMARY OF THE COLLECTIONS OF SNAKES AND CROC- ODILIANS MADE IN MEXICO UNDER THE WALTER RATHBONE BACON TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIP By Hobart M. Smith By aid of the Walter Rathbone Bacon Traveling Scholarship of the Smithsonian Institution, my wife and I were enabled to spend the greater part of two years, from September 1938 to August 1940, collecting reptiles and amphibians in certain areas in Mexico. The work was intended primarily to supplement other investigations I had conducted previously, but various opportunities were taken to augment the collection of the National Museum by brief visits to areas that had been formerly studied. We worked in several areas I had not visited before, and the unusual opportunity was offered to collect in numerous localities during the dry season. Practically all previous work had been done during the rainy season, when the active fauna is frequently much different from that of the dry season. Unfortu- nately, it was impossible to reach certain other critical areas included in the original itinerary, in spite of the very considerable length of time at our disposal. Even had we been able to do twice as much field work as was actually accomplished, the same statement probably could be made; Mexico will remain an extraordinarily fertile field for local studies for many years. After our return the authorities of the Smithsonian Institution very kindly approved the continuation of the Scholarship until Sep- tember 1941, to afford a much-needed respite from other duties for study of the collections secured.
