E-mail: [email protected] Abstract We describe a new species of the genus Cyrtodactylus based on two adult specimens from Huong Son limestone forest, Hanoi, Vietnam. Cyrtodactylus huongsonensis sp. nov. is distinguished from the remaining Indochinese bent-toed geckos by a combination of the following characters: medium-sized, with a maximum SVL of 89.8 mm; dorsal pattern consisting of dark nuchal loop, neck band and five in part irregular transverse body bands between limbs; two enlarged lateral chin- shields in contact with first postmental pair; dorsal tubercles present on occiput, body, forearms, hind limbs and tail base; 14–16 irregularly running dorsal tubercle rows; ventrals in 41–48 longitudinal rows at midbody; lateral skin folds present, without interspersed tubercles; six precloacal pores plus in total 17 femoral pores in males, which are separated by 8–12 poreless scales; enlarged femoral scales and precloacal scales present; three postcloacal spurs in males; subcaudal scales transversely enlarged. This is the 24th species of Cyrtodactylus known from Vietnam. Key words: Cyrtodactylus huongsonensis sp. nov., Hanoi, Vietnam, morphology, taxonomy Introduction The genus Cyrtodactylus is the most diverse group of gekkonids to date (e.g., Kluge 2001, Uetz et al. 2011). The widespread radiation occurs throughout tropical South Asia, Indochina, the Philippines, the Indo-Australian Archi- pelago, and the Solomon Islands in the East (Bauer & Henle 1994). Vietnam has been one of the countries of the most numerous discoveries of new Cyrtodactylus to date. Until 1997, only three species had been recorded for the country, C. condorensis (Smith, 1921), C. intermedius (Smith, 1917), and C. irregularis (Smith, 1921). Since then 20 additional species have been described from Vietnam, namely C. badenensis Nguyen, Orlov & Darevsky, 2006, C. bichnganae Ngo & Grismer, 2010, C. cattienensis Geissler, Nazarov, Orlov, Böhme, Phung, Nguyen & Ziegler, 2009, C. caovansungi Orlov, Nguyen, Nazarov, Ananjeva & Nguyen, 2007, C. chauquangensis Hoang, Orlov, Ananjeva, Johns, Hoang & Dau, 2007, C. cryptus Heidrich, Rösler, Vu, Böhme & Ziegler, 2007, C. eisenmanae Ngo, 2008, C. grismeri Ngo, 2008, C. hontreensis Ngo, Grismer & Grismer, 2008, C. huynhi Ngo & Bauer, 2008, C. martini Ngo, 2011, C. nigriocularis Nguyen, Orlov & Darevsky, 2006, C. paradoxus (Darevsky & Szczerbak, 1997), C. phongnhakebangensis Ziegler, Rösler, Herrmann & Vu, 2003, C. phuquocensis Ngo, Grismer & Grismer, 2010, C. pseudoquadrivirgatus Rösler, Vu, Nguyen, Ngo & Ziegler, 2008, C. roesleri Ziegler, Nazarov, Orlov, Nguyen, Vu, Dang, Dinh & Schmitz, 2010, C. takouensis Ngo & Bauer, 2008, C. yangbayensis Ngo & Chan, 2010, and C. ziegleri Nazarov, Orlov, Nguyen & Ho, 2008 (Ziegler et al. 2002, Nguyen et al. 2006, Heidrich et al. 2007, Hoang et al. 2007, Orlov et al. 2007, Nazarov et al. 2008, Ngo 2008, Ngo & Bauer 2008, Ngo et al. 2008, Rösler et al. 2008, Geissler et al. 2009, Ngo & Chan 2010, Ngo & Grismer 2010, Ngo et al. 2010, Ziegler et al. 2010, Ngo 2011). Recent field research in northern Vietnam led to the discovery of more new populations of Cyrtodactylus. Based on morphological examination of two adult specimens, we herein describe a new species from Huong Son limestone forest, My Duc District, Hanoi. Accepted by A.

Commercial sale or deposition in a public library or website is prohibited. Material and methods Specimens of the new Cyrtodactylus were collected in Huong Son limestone forest by Vinh Quang Luu, Hieu Van Pham, and Nghia Van Ha on 13 June 2011. Specimens were anaesthetized, ethanol-fixed and subsequently depos- ited in the collections of the Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources, Vietnamese Academy of Science and Technology Hanoi (IEBR), Vietnam, and the Zoologisches Forschungsmuseum Alexander Koenig, Bonn (ZFMK), Germany. For measurements and scale counts see Ziegler et al. (2010), terminology followed Rösler (1995). Measure- ments were taken with a slide-calliper (to the nearest 0.1 mm). Abbreviations are as follows: snout vent length (SVL), from tip of snout to vent; tail length (TaL), from vent to tip of tail; maximum head height (HH), from occiput to underside of jaws; head length (HL), from tip of snout to the posterior margin of the retroarticular; max- imum head width (HW); greatest diameter of orbit (OD); snout to eye distance (SE), measured from tip of snout to anteriormost point of eye. Scale counts were taken as follows: supralabials (SL); infralabials (IL); nasal scales surrounding nare, from rostral to labial (but except counting rostral and labial), i.e. nasorostral, supranasal, postnasals (N); postrostrals or internasals (IN); number of distinguishable eyelid fringe scales or ciliaria (CIL); postmentals (PM); dorsal tubercle rows (DTR), granular scales surrounding dorsal tubercles (GST); ventral scales in longitudinal rows at midbody (V); number of scales along the midbody from mental shield to anterior edge of cloaca (SLB); enlarged femoral scales (EFS); femoral pores (FP); precloacal pores (PP); postcloacal tubercles (PAT); subdigital lamellae on fourth finger (LD4); subdigital lamellae on fourth toe (LT4). Bilateral scale counts were given as left/right. Cyrtodactylus huongsonensis sp. nov. Holotype. Adult male (IEBR A.2011.3) collected on 13 June 2011 by Vinh Quang Luu, Hieu Van Pham, and Nghia Van Ha in Huong Son limestone forest (25o35’N, 105o45’E), My Duc District, Hanoi, northern Vietnam at an eleva- tion of ca. 120 m a.s.l.

A radiation of a dozen species on sky islands across peninsular India (Squamata: Gekkonidae, Hemiphyllodactylus) with the description of three new species Ishan Agarwal1,2 & Akshay Khandekar1,2 & Varad B. Giri1,3 & Uma Ramakrishnan1 & K. Praveen Karanth 2 Received: 6 August 2018 /Revised: 9 January 2019 /Accepted: 12 February 2019 /Published online: 5 March 2019 # Gesellschaft für Biologische Systematik 2019 Abstract Sky Islands are high-elevation environments that are separated by warmer, low elevations, forming natural patches of unique montane habitat that often persist through changing climates. Peninsular India was ancestrally forested and has gradually become more arid since at least the Oligocene, and open landscapes have dominated since the middle-late Miocene. Mesic forests today are largely restricted to coastal mountains and some other montane habitats. A mitochondrial phylogeny and fossil-calibrated timetree of Indian Hemiphyllodactylus reveal an Indochinese origin and an endemic radiation with 12 species-level lineages, where a single species was known, that diversified in the Oligocene-Miocene across montane forest habitats in the Eastern Ghats and south India. The phylogeny also suggests the discontinuous Eastern Ghats mountain range encompasses two distinct biogeographic entities: north and south of the Pennar/Krishna-Godavari River basins. This study highlights the deep history of the region and the importance of montane habitats as islands of unique biodiversity that have persisted through millions of years of changing climates. We describe three new species: Hemiphyllodactylus arakuensis sp.

  • Summary Record of the 26Th Meeting of the Animals Committee
    Original language: English AC26 summary record CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF WILD FAUNA AND FLORA ____________ Twenty-sixth meeting of the Animals Committee Geneva (Switzerland), 15-20 March 2012 and Dublin (Ireland), 22-24 March 2012 SUMMARY RECORD Animals Committee matters 1. Opening of the meeting The Chair opened the meeting and welcomed all participants, before giving the floor to the Secretary- General, who also welcomed everyone and introduced new members of the Secretariat's scientific team (Mr De Meulenaer and Ms Kwitsinskaia) and enforcement team (Ms Garcia Ferreira, Ms Jonsson and Mr van Rensburg). He wished the Committee well in its deliberations. The Chair thanked the Secretary-General and invited suggestions as to how the Conference of the Parties could establish stronger measures to support the Committee as well as export countries, which deserved particular assistance. No other intervention was made during discussion of this item.1 2. Rules of Procedure The Secretariat introduced document AC26 Doc. 2 and proposed amending Rule 22 as follows: “On request, the Secretariat shall distribute printed and translated documents...”. The Secretariat explained that most members regularly indicated that they did not need printed copies and that this proposal was made to reduce costs. Although not opposed to the change in principle, a Party regretted that the suggestion had not been presented in the document, which would have given Parties time to consider it, and was concerned that this unannounced proposal might create a precedent. Another Party asked a question on the procedure to accept observers, but the Chair invited it to raise this topic under agenda item 4 on Admission of observers.

The new species is a member of the Hemidactylus brookii complex, and can be distinguished based on the following suite of characters: moderate sized species (SVL 54.3–74.2 mm); anterior postmental width equal to frst infralabial; posterior postmental width equal to second infralabial, posterior postmental not in contact with frst infralabial; enlarged, keeled, tubercles, fairly regularly arranged in 15–16 longitudinal rows on dorsum; two angular series of seven precloacal femoral pores separated by diastema of eight non-pored scales; non-pored scales equal to size of pored scales; scales bordering anterior edge of pored scales half the size of pored scales; fve lamellae on digit I and seven on digit IV of manus as well as pes; lamellae on digit IV and V of pes absent on basal 25% of the digit; legs long and slender; ventral aspect of tail with broad caudal scales covering ~80% of tail; two subconical post cloacal spurs, anterior spur slightly larger than posterior spur.
