  • A Morphological and Molecular Study of Hydrodynastes Gigas (Serpentes, Dipsadidae), a Widespread Species from South America

Carvalho1,2, Hussam Zaher3, Nelson J. da Silva Jr4 and Diego J. Santana1 1 Instituto de Biociências, Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul, Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil 2 Instituto de Biociências, Letras e Ciências Exatas, Universidade Estadual Paulista, São José do Rio preto, São Paulo, Brazil 3 Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil 4 Escola de Ciências Médicas, Farmacêuticas e Biomédicas, Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás, Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil ABSTRACT Background. Studies with integrative approaches (based on different lines of evidence) are fundamental for understanding the diversity of organisms. Different data sources can improve the understanding of the taxonomy and evolution of snakes. We used this integrative approach to verify the taxonomic status of Hydrodynastes gigas (Duméril, Bibron & Duméril, 1854), given its wide distribution throughout South America, including the validity of the recently described Hydrodynastes melanogigas Franco, Fernandes & Bentim, 2007. Methods. We performed a phylogenetic analysis of Bayesian Inference with mtDNA 16S and Cytb, and nuDNA Cmos and NT3 concatenated (1,902 bp). In addition, we performed traditional morphometric analyses, meristic, hemipenis morphology and coloration pattern of H. gigas and H. melanogigas. Results. According to molecular and morphological characters, H. gigas is widely Submitted 19 May 2020 distributed throughout South America. We found no evidence to support that H. Accepted 9 September 2020 gigas and H. melanogigas species are distinct lineages, therefore, H. melanogigas is a Published 25 November 2020 junior synonym of H.

We compared species lists from nine sites in the Madre de Dios region, five of which are in nationally recognized protected areas and four are outside the country’s protected area system. Los Amigos, occurring outside the protected area system, is the most species-rich locality included in our comparison.

There is a dearth have been an additional three specimens collected near of information on this recently described species, and the border of the departments of Santa Cruz and Beni, this account significantly contributes to knowledge of which were deposited in Museo Noel Kempff Mercado its geographic range.

Moreover, due to the novelty of X. werdingorum, there is a paucity of information in the scientific literature The genus Xenopholis Peters, 1869 is a group of relative- regarding the distribution, life history, and general ly small (300–450 mm) Neotropical cryptozoic snakes ecology of this species.

Twenty amphibian and 24 reptile species were collected. Only 40% of amphibians and 12.5% of reptiles were collected in both locations. This is one of the few collections made at upland (750–800 m) locations in the Guiana Shield. Introduction palm stands (Maurita flexuosa) (Hollowell et al. 2003). The Guiana Shield region of northeastern South America Immediately west of Kato is the nearby Chiung River, is one of the world’s areas of greatest biodiversity. The a rocky-bottomed watercourse about 50 m wide with herpetofauna of the region remains poorly documented, numerous small falls and a distinct riparian zone. Many although there have been several general publications small agricultural clearings, in typical rotating “slash and on the subject (Starace 1998; Gorzula and Señaris 1999; burn” fashion, are common around Kato in the areas where Lescure and Marty 2000; Reynolds et al. 2001; Avila- savanna transitions to forest.
