  • Stellio' in Herpetology and a Comment on the Nomenclature and Taxonomy of Agamids of the Genus Agama (Sensu Lato) (Squamata: Sauria: Agamidae)
    ©Österreichische Gesellschaft für Herpetologie e.V., Wien, Austria, download unter www.biologiezentrum.at HERPETOZOA 8 (1/2): 3 - 9 Wien, 30. Juli 1995 A brief review of the origin and use of 'stellio' in herpetology and a comment on the nomenclature and taxonomy of agamids of the genus Agama (sensu lato) (Squamata: Sauria: Agamidae) Kurzübersicht über die Herkunft und Verwendung von "stellio" in der Herpetologie und Kommentar zur Nomenklatur und Taxonomie von Agamen, Gattung Agama (sensu lato) (Squamata: Sauria: Agamidae) KLAUS HENLE ABSTRACT The name 'stellio' has received a wide and variable application in herpetology. Its use antedates modern nomenclature. The name was applied mainly to various agamid and gekkonid species. In modern usage, confu- sion exists primarily with its use as a genus, i. e., Siellio. To solve this problem, STEJNEGER (1936) desig- nated Siellio saxatilis of LAURENTI, 1768 which is based on a figure in SEBA (1734) as the type species. This species is unidentifiable. In an unpublished thesis, MOODY (1980) split the genus Agama (s. 1.) into six genera. He overlooked STEJNEGER's (1936) designation and reused Stellio for the stellio-group of agamid lizards. Many authors followed MOODY (1980). Recently, some authors pointed out that Siellio is unavailable but did not fully dis- cuss the implications for agamid nomenclature. It is argued that a satisfactory nomenclature is difficult with current knowledge of agamid taxonomy. It is suggested to restrict Laudakia to L. tuberculata and to use Ploce- denna for the stellio-group (sensu stricto). KURZFASSUNG Der Name "stellio" sah eine breite und vielfältige Verwendung in der Herpetologie, die weit über die moderne Nomenklatur zurückreicht.

  • The Herpetofauna of the Cubango, Cuito, and Lower Cuando River Catchments of South-Eastern Angola
    Official journal website: Amphibian & Reptile Conservation amphibian-reptile-conservation.org 10(2) [Special Section]: 6–36 (e126). The herpetofauna of the Cubango, Cuito, and lower Cuando river catchments of south-eastern Angola 1,2,*Werner Conradie, 2Roger Bills, and 1,3William R. Branch 1Port Elizabeth Museum (Bayworld), P.O. Box 13147, Humewood 6013, SOUTH AFRICA 2South African Institute for Aquatic Bio- diversity, P/Bag 1015, Grahamstown 6140, SOUTH AFRICA 3Research Associate, Department of Zoology, P O Box 77000, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, Port Elizabeth 6031, SOUTH AFRICA Abstract.—Angola’s herpetofauna has been neglected for many years, but recent surveys have revealed unknown diversity and a consequent increase in the number of species recorded for the country. Most historical Angola surveys focused on the north-eastern and south-western parts of the country, with the south-east, now comprising the Kuando-Kubango Province, neglected. To address this gap a series of rapid biodiversity surveys of the upper Cubango-Okavango basin were conducted from 2012‒2015. This report presents the results of these surveys, together with a herpetological checklist of current and historical records for the Angolan drainage of the Cubango, Cuito, and Cuando Rivers. In summary 111 species are known from the region, comprising 38 snakes, 32 lizards, five chelonians, a single crocodile and 34 amphibians. The Cubango is the most western catchment and has the greatest herpetofaunal diversity (54 species). This is a reflection of both its easier access, and thus greatest number of historical records, and also the greater habitat and topographical diversity associated with the rocky headwaters.

Box 4783, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Abstract.—This paper provides an updated checklist of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) native and alien herpetofauna. The UAE, while largely a desert country with a hyper-arid climate, also has a range of more mesic habitats such as islands, mountains, and wadis. As such it has a diverse native herpetofauna of at least 72 species as follows: two amphibian species (Bufonidae), five marine turtle species (Cheloniidae [four] and Dermochelyidae [one]), 42 lizard species (Agamidae [six], Gekkonidae [19], Lacertidae [10], Scincidae [six], and Varanidae [one]), a single amphisbaenian, and 22 snake species (Leptotyphlopidae [one], Boidae [one], Colubridae [seven], Hydrophiidae [nine], and Viperidae [four]). Additionally, we recorded at least eight alien species, although only the Brahminy Blind Snake (Ramphotyplops braminus) appears to have become naturalized. We also list legislation and international conventions pertinent to the herpetofauna.

School of Medicine, Kyushu University, 3-1- 1 Maidashi, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka SI 2. Japan Abstract. -Heliothermic lizards have been used as model organisms in studies of foraging mode, although their behavior is generally complicated by thermoregulation. Tropical nocturnal gekkonid lizards could be better models than temperate diurnal lizards. In several recent reviews, gekkonids have been considered to be sit-and- wait (ambush) predators. Observation of Gekko hokouensis, G. japonicus and Teratoscincus roborowskii in the field on warm nights revealed that by the measure of moves-per-minute they are sit-and-wait (SW) predators but by the measure of percent-time-moving G. hokouensis is widely-foraging (WF), as is Coleonyx variegatus, according to the literature. The behavior of individuals of all three species combines to varying extent both SW and WF modes. This observation accords with recent reports of foraging behavior in G. gecko and Stenodactvlus doriae. Reexamination of the original literature sources quoted in recent reviews showed that these sources had already qualitatively described many geckos as either WF or mixed strategists.

In the course of working on a taxonomic revision of the Acanthocercus atricollis complex, we discovered a popu- lation from the Luangwa and Zambezi valleys in Zambia and adjacent Malawi that is morphologically and genetically dis- tinct from all described taxa of this complex. This population is described as a new species on the basis of morphological characters, including indistinct transverse rows of enlarged scales on the body, a large black patch on the shoulders, and a different pholidosis. It is morphologically similar toA. a. gregorii and A. a. loveridgei, but seems to be more closely related to the former. Key words. Squamata, Agamidae, Acanthocercus atricollis, new species, Africa, Zambia, Malawi, Zambezi Valley, Luangwa Valley. Introduction diet is dominated by ants and beetles, but other arthropods also play an important role (Reaney & Whiting 2002). The genus Acanthocercus Fitzinger, 1843 is widely dis- Whiting et al. (2009) identified A. a. atricollis as an an- tributed from the southwestern corner of the Arabian Pen- thropophilic species, with higher population densities in insula and the Horn of Africa to southern Africa.

Box: 68315-139 Nourabad City, Lorestan Province, IRAN 3Biomatical Center for Researches (BMCR), Khalifa, Nourabad, Lorestan, IRAN Abstract.—A new genus and species of gekkonid lizard is described from the Zagros Mountains, western Iran. The genus Lakigecko gen.n. can be distinguished from other genera of the Middle East by the combination of the following characters: depressed tail, strongly fattened head and body, eye ellipsoid (more horizontal), and approximately circular whorls of tubercles (strongly spinose and keeled). Keywords. Gekkonidae, Lakigecko gen.n., Lakigecko aaronbaueri sp.n., new species, Reptilia, Sauria, Western Iran Citation: Torki F. 2020. A new gecko genus from Zagros Mountains, Iran.
