Pauweli and Tanya Chan-artf ABSTRACT On 白巴 basis of original field observations ,the exarnination of preserved museum spec 泊施ns and and availabl 巴 reliabl 巴 literature , we here provide a list of 出e reptile species curr 官ntly known to to inhabit the 1訂 gest Th ai protected area , Kaeng Kr achan National Park (Phetchaburi and achuap Pr achuap Kh iri Kh an provinces) ,westem Th ailand. Th e list includes 63 species (5 chelonians , 2 crocodilians ,30 lac 巴rtilians and 26 ophidians) distributed in 14 farnilies and 46 genera. Th e range range of several species is extended in the country ,either northwards (Sphenomorphus cf. tersus) tersus) or southwards (Lycodonfasciatus , Xenochrophis piscator ,Sinomicrurus m. macclellandi) , suggesting suggesting that Kaeng Kr achan is situated in a zoogeographical 甘'ansition zone between the Sundaic Sundaic and In. do-Himalayan reptile faunas. The park is thus currently known to harbo 町 afi 創1 of 出e 百別 reptile species ,but is predicted to host up to a 血ird INTRODUC 百 ON With 2,915 squ 紅 e kilometers ,Kaeng Kr achan National Park is the largest protected area area in Th ailand. It is mainly situated in Kaeng Kr achan Di strict ,Phetchaburi Province , but it it also encroaches on Nong Ya Plong and 百la Yang districts of the same province , and in the the southem part of the park the Pala-U waterfall site is situated in Hua Hin District , Pr achuap Kh iri Kh an Province. 百le park was established in 1981 by His M 司jesty King Bhumipol Adulyadej. In its eastem part ,it includes the Kaeng Kr achan reservoir , where the the Huay Mae Prakon and the Phetchaburi River flow. 百le southem part of the park is drained drained by the Pr anburi River. Most of 出e park is covered with mixed deciduous forest , 合y dipterocarp forest and evergreen fores t.百 le highest peaks 釘 e Kh ao Phanoen 官1U ng (1 ,207 m asl) and Kh ao Sam Yot (871 m asl) ,bo 由 belonging to the Tenasserim Range which which crosses north-south over the park. Detailed Detailed descriptions of the park and its fauna have been published (see a.o. ANONYMOUS ,2000) , and its high richness in bird and m an1ffi al species has been emphasised. In In contrast , the p訂 k's he 中etofauna remained st i1l largely unknown , although at least 30 species species have been recorded from the p訂 k in the literature since 1987 (see species accounts in in the Results). PAUWELS ET AL. (2003) , based on the general distribution and ecological requirements requirements of 百四 reptiles ,suggested 血at 出e number of species known from Phetchaburi Province Province would be greatly increased through field research in Kaeng Kr achan National P紅k.

  • Reptiles of Phetchaburi Province, Western Thailand: a List of Species, with Natural History Notes, and a Discussion on the Biogeography at the Isthmus of Kra
    The Natural History Journal of Chulalongkorn University 3(1): 23-53, April 2003 ©2003 by Chulalongkorn University Reptiles of Phetchaburi Province, Western Thailand: a list of species, with natural history notes, and a discussion on the biogeography at the Isthmus of Kra OLIVIER S.G. PAUWELS 1*, PATRICK DAVID 2, CHUCHEEP CHIMSUNCHART 3 AND KUMTHORN THIRAKHUPT 4 1 Department of Recent Vertebrates, Institut Royal des Sciences naturelles de Belgique, 29 rue Vautier, 1000 Brussels, BELGIUM 2 UMS 602 Taxinomie-collection – Reptiles & Amphibiens, Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, 25 rue Cuvier, 75005 Paris, FRANCE 3 65 Moo 1, Tumbon Tumlu, Amphoe Ban Lat, Phetchaburi 76150, THAILAND 4 Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok 10330, THAILAND ABSTRACT.–A study of herpetological biodiversity was conducted in Phetcha- buri Province, in the upper part of peninsular Thailand. On the basis of a review of available literature, original field observations and examination of museum collections, a preliminary list of 81 species (12 chelonians, 2 crocodiles, 23 lizards, and 44 snakes) is established, of which 52 (64 %) are reported from the province for the first time. The possible presence of additional species is discussed. Some biological data on the new specimens are provided including some range extensions and new size records. The herpetofauna of Phetchaburi shows strong Sundaic affinities, with about 88 % of the recorded species being also found south of the Isthmus of Kra. A biogeographic affinity analysis suggests that the Isthmus of Kra plays the role of a biogeographic filter, due both to the repeated changes in climate during the Quaternary and to the current increase of the dry season duration along the peninsula from south to north.

Mr. Chaiwat Limlikitaksorn is an accused in criminal case no. 380/2554 for allegedly masterminding the murder of Mr. Thatkamol Ob-om, core member of a group which demanded the rights of Ban Pong Luk Bang Kloy. The case rests with the Provincial Court of Phetchaburi and is pending trial before the Court. 2. Mr. Chaiwat Limlikitaksorn is alleged a defendant in an administrative case no. S58/2555. On 19 May 2014, the Administrative Court conducted a hearing to hear more from the parties. In this case, traditional Karens who live in Ban Pong Luk Bang Kloy were threatened with eviction. Their houses and properties were allegedly burned down by a forestry team led by Mr.

Artabotrys tanaosriensis J.Chen, Chalermglin & R.M.K.Saunders, sp. nov., is similar to A. oblanceolatus Craib but differs in its symmetrical, cuneate or decurrent leaf base, externally distinct outer petal blades and claws, deltoid and undulate outer petal blades, rhomboid and undulate inner petal blades and shorter, subsessile and slightly beaked monocarps. Artabotrys spathulatus J.Chen, Chalermglin & R.M.K.Saunders, sp. nov., is most similar to A. tanaos- riensis but differs in having flat outer petal blades, broadly rhomboid outer petal claws, broadly spathu- late and strongly concave inner petal blades and strongly beaked monocarps.
