The individual was observed and collected in a primary evergreen submontane forest in Cerro Pirre, Darien Province, Republic of Panama. It was identified mainly by the low counts of secondary and primary folds. The encounter of this individual of C. guntheri highlights the disjunct populations and apparently the results of dispersion of this species from South to Central America by biotic exchange as result of the closure of the Isthmus of Panama.

  • Tuo New Species of Euspondylus (Squamata: Gymnophthalmidae) from Peru
    Tuo new species of Euspondylus (Squamata: Gymnophthalmidae) from Peru GUNTHER KöHLER Zusammenfassung Zwei neue Arten von Euspondylus (Squamata: Gymnophthalmidae) aus Peru. Die Taxonomie der Gattungen Proctoporus und Euspondylus war schon immer problematisch, vor allem, weil die postulierten Unterschiede gering und zum Teil nicht stabil sind. Ich beschreibe zwei neue Arten der Gattung Euspondylus aus Peru. Die eine neue Art (aus dem Departamento Junin, ein Fundort in etwa 2880 m NN) unterscheidet sich von allen anderen Euspondylus-Arten durch drei Supraocularia (bei den anderen Arten sind vier Supraocularia vorhanden), von denen das vorderste mit dem vordersten Superciliare verschmolzen ist (bei den anderen Arten ist diese Schuppe distinkt oder verschmolzen). Die neue Art unterscheidet sich weiterhin von E. spinalis und E. rahmi, denen sie äußerlich am meisten ähnelt, durch eine Längsanzahl Rückenschuppen von 29-35 (39-54 bei E. spinalis und E. rahmi), 15-19 Subdigitallamellen der 4. Zehe (20-24 bei E. spinalis und E. rahmi), das Fehlen von seitlichen Augenflecken (bei E. spinalis und E. rahmi in der Regel vorhanden) und keine Reduktion der Schuppengröße oberhalb des Längsbandes granulärer Schuppen an den Körperseiten (eine solche Reduktion vorhanden bei E. spinalis und E. rahmi). Die andere neue Art (mehrere Fundorte in 2780-2850 m NN aus dem Departamento Cuzco) unterscheidet sich von E. spinalis und E. rahmi, denen sie äußerlich am meisten ähnelt, durch folgende Merkmale: E. rahmi: Längsanzahl Rückenschuppen von 41-48 (49-54 bei E. rahmi), Männchen mit 7-9 Femoralporen pro Seite (10-11 bei E. rahmi), maximale KRL 82 mm (71 mm bei E. rahmi) und das Fehlen von seitlichen Augenflecken (bei E.

E-mail: [email protected] 3Corresponding author 4Current address: Department of Coastal Sciences, Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, University of Southern Mississippi, 703 E Beach Drive, Ocean Springs, MS 39564, USA Abstract The South American gymnophthalmid genus Euspondylus is distributed from Venezuela through Peru, with its highest diversity occurring in Peru. Euspondylus paxcorpus sp. nov. is a new species from Junín, Peru possessing prefrontal scales and represented by 60 specimens. The new species differs from all other species by the combination of four supraoculars with supraocular/supraciliary fusion, 5–7 occipitals, a single palpebral scale, five supralabials and infralabials, quadran- gular dorsal scales with low keels arranged in transverse series only, 40–45 in a longitudinal count and 22–28 in a trans- verse count, 12 rows of ventrals in a transverse count and 23–25 in a longitudinal count, and no sexual dimorphism in coloration. The discovery of E. paxcorpus increases the known number of Euspondylus species to 13. Because the color- ation patterns of the specimens were greatly different after preservation in alcohol, caution should be used when identify- ing Euspondylus species from museum specimens.

  • First Record of the Genus Anadia (Reptilia: Squamata
    Bol. Mus. Para. Emílio Goeldi. Cienc. Nat., Belém, v. 8, n. 1, p. 27-39, jan.-abr. 2013 First record of the genus Anadia (Reptilia: Squamata: Gymnophthalmidae) from Guyana based on an enigmatic specimen from Mount Kopinang, Wokomung Massif Primeiro registro do gênero Anadia (Reptilia: Squamata: Gymnophthalmidae) para Guyana baseado em um enigmático exemplar do monte Kopinang, maciço de Wokomung Philippe Jacques Robert KokI, II, Donald Bruce MeansIII, Gilson Antonio RivasIV IRoyal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences. Bruxelas, Bélgica IIVrije Universiteit Brussel. Bruxelas, Bélgica IIICoastal Plains Institute and Land Conservancy. Tallahassee, Flórida, USA IVUniversidad del Zulia. Museo de Biología. Maracaibo, Venezuela Abstract: We provide the first record of the lizard genus Anadia (Gymnophthalmidae) from Guyana, based on an enigmatic specimen collected in the Pakaraima Mountain Range and provisionally referred to Anadia escalerae, a species described from a single specimen collected in the highlands of the Venezuelan Guayana. The new locality extends the known distribution of the genus Anadia to approximately 300 km to the SE and represents the easternmost known record for an Anadia species. The collected specimen is described in detail, compared to other known Anadia species, and closely compared to the holotype of Anadia escalerae, from which it differs in several characteristics that are discussed. Keywords: Anadia escalerae. Distribution extension. Pantepui. Guyana. Wokomung Massif. Venezuela. Resumo: Registra-se, pela primeira vez, um lagarto do gênero Anadia para a Guiana, com base em um exemplar enigmático coletado nas montanhas Pakaraima. Este exemplar é provisoriamente atribuído a Anadia escalerae, uma espécie descrita através de um único indivíduo coletado nas montanhas da Guayana venezuelana.

Reptiles of Ecuador: a resource-rich online portal, with dynamic checklists and photographic guides 1Omar Torres-Carvajal, 2Gustavo Pazmiño-Otamendi, and 3David Salazar-Valenzuela 1,2Museo de Zoología, Escuela de Ciencias Biológicas, Pontifcia Universidad Católica del Ecuador, Avenida 12 de Octubre y Roca, Apartado 17- 01-2184, Quito, ECUADOR 3Centro de Investigación de la Biodiversidad y Cambio Climático (BioCamb) e Ingeniería en Biodiversidad y Recursos Genéticos, Facultad de Ciencias de Medio Ambiente, Universidad Tecnológica Indoamérica, Machala y Sabanilla EC170301, Quito, ECUADOR Abstract.—With 477 species of non-avian reptiles within an area of 283,561 km2, Ecuador has the highest density of reptile species richness among megadiverse countries in the world. This richness is represented by 35 species of turtles, fve crocodilians, and 437 squamates including three amphisbaenians, 197 lizards, and 237 snakes. Of these, 45 species are endemic to the Galápagos Islands and 111 are mainland endemics. The high rate of species descriptions during recent decades, along with frequent taxonomic changes, has prevented printed checklists and books from maintaining a reasonably updated record of the species of reptiles from Ecuador. Here we present Reptiles del Ecuador (http://bioweb.bio/faunaweb/reptiliaweb), a free, resource-rich online portal with updated information on Ecuadorian reptiles. This interactive portal includes encyclopedic information on all species, multimedia presentations, distribution maps, habitat suitability models, and dynamic PDF guides. We also include an updated checklist with information on distribution, endemism, and conservation status, as well as a photographic guide to the reptiles from Ecuador.

University, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA. Corresponding author: Edgar Lehr, [email protected] Abstract Euspondylus excelsum was described from 8 specimens from the Region Huánuco in central Peru. We obtained an adult female from the Region Junín and a subadult male (photo vouchers only) from the Region Madre de Dios. Our new records of E. excelsum extend the range of this species by 592 km to the south and increase the previously known elevational range from 1023–1159 m a.s.l. to 550–1550 m a.s.l.
