Katalog Der Typen Der Herpetologischen Sammlung Des Naturhistorischen Museums Wien – 2018 Ann. Naturhist. Mus. Wien, B 121 33–248 Wien, Februar 2019 Katalog der Typen der Herpetologischen Sammlung des Naturhistorischen Museums Wien – 2018 R. Gemel*, G. Gassner* & S. Schweiger* Zusammenfassung In diesem Katalog werden alle Typusexemplare von Amphibien und Reptilien der Herpetologischen Samm- lung des Naturhistorischen Museums Wien angeführt. Die Typen sind nach Klassen geordnet und in syste- matischer Reihenfolge alphabetisch aufgelistet. Die Sammlung beinhaltet wertvolles historisches Material, unter anderem aus der Sammlung von STEINDACHNER. Abstract In this catalogue, all type specimens of amphibians and reptiles of the Herpetological Collection of the Natural History Museum Vienna are listed. The types are arranged systematically and listed in alphabet- ical order. The collection contains valuable historical material among which, those from the collection of STEINDACHNER. Key Words: Types, historical collections, Natural History Museum Vienna, Reptilia, Amphibia Einleitung Über die Geschichte und Bedeutung der herpetologischen Sammlung des Naturhisto- rischen Museums Wien (NMW) ist mehrfach berichtet worden (vgl. FITZINGER, 1856, HÄUPL & TIEDEMANN, 1978, TIEDEMANN & HÄUPL, 1980, TIEDEMANN & GRILLITSCH, 1989, HÄUPL et al., 1994, TIEDEMANN et al., 1994, TIEDEMANN & GRILLITSCH, 1997, TIEDEMANN & GRILLITSCH, 2001a, TIEDEMANN & GRILLITSCH, 2001b, SCHWEIGER & GRILLITSCH, 2018). Seit den letzten Ausgaben der Typenkataloge hat sich eine große Zahl von Änderungen ergeben, die sich mit der intensiven Bearbeitung des Wiener Typenma- terials erklären läßt. Eine Überarbeitung des Katalogs erwies sich deshalb nach etwa zwanzig Jahren als dringend geboten. Die bisher publizierten Listen der Amphibien- und Reptilientypen des Naturhistorischen Museums Wien umfassen: HÄUPL & TIEDEMANN (1978), TIEDEMANN & HÄUPL (1980), TIEDEMANN et al., (1994), HÄUPL et al., (1994) sowie TIEDEMANN & GRILLITSCH (1999). In dieser Publikation werden erstmals auch Belegexemplare (in systematischer Ordnung) aufgeführt, die in älteren Typenkatalogen gelistet wurden, aber nicht als Typen gelten und gestrichen wurden. Typen, deren Typus- status nicht als sicher angesehen werden kann, sind unter "Potentielle Typen" erfasst. Außerdem werden Typen (in systematischer und alphabetischer Reihenfolge) angeführt, die sich in den Beständen des Naturhistorischen Museums Wien befinden sollten, aber * Richard Gemel, Georg Gassner, Silke Schweiger, Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, Erste Zoologische Abteilung, Herpetologische Sammlung, Burgring 7, 1010 Wien, Österreich. – richard.gemel@nhm- wien.ac.at. 34 Annalen des Naturhistorischen Museums in Wien, B, 121 derzeit nicht auffindbar sind. Letztgenannte Liste soll zukünftigen Forschungsvorhaben dienen. Die derzeit gültigen Namen der Taxa entsprechen dem Stand Oktober 2018. Bei jenen Taxa, denen keine Referenzangaben beigefügt sind, besteht der Name bis heute unverän- dert. Die aktuelle taxonomisch – nomenklatorische Zuordnung wurde unter Benutzung der folgenden Quellen vorgenommen: Amphibien: FROST et al. (2017) http://research.amnh.org/vz/herpetology/amphibia/. Hierin befinden sich detaillierte Angaben zur Geschichte der Taxa, weshalb für Amphi- bien keine Quellenangaben zu nomenklatorischen Änderungen gegeben werden. Da für die Reptilien mehrere Quellenangaben verwendet wurden, werden Angaben zu taxonomischen und nomenklatorischen Änderungen angegeben. Besondere Berücksich- tigung fanden dabei UETZ (Editor): The Reptile Database, http://www.reptile-database. org, update vom 1. Oktober 2018, zusätzlich für Schildkröten: Turtle Taxonomy Wor- king Group (2017) und für Schlangen: WALLACH et al. (2014) und MCDIARMID et al. (1999). Insbesondere wurden die Quellen der Lectotypen-Designationen, wenn bekannt, miteinbezogen, um eine zukünftige systematisch-taxonomische Bearbeitung zu erleich- tern. Quellenangaben zu den Erstbeschreibungen sind im Literaturverzeichnis nicht ent- halten, hier wird die Vorgabe der früheren Ausgaben der Typenkataloge beibehalten. Im Zitat der Erstbeschreibungen wird jeweils jene Seitenzahl angegeben, die die erstmalige Nennung des (neuen) Taxons enthält, ferner jene Seiten, die die Beschreibung enthalten. Jeder Typus wird mit dem in der Erstbeschreibung angeführten Namen (und auch der Schreibweise) aufgelistet. Die uneinheitliche Darstellung der Daten hinsichtlich z. B. Datum oder Sammler ergibt sich aus der Beibehaltung der Bezeichnungen zum Zeitpunkt der Acquirierung und Inventarisierung. Damit soll ein Informationsverlust vermieden werden. Angaben, die nicht eindeutig nachvollziehbar sind, werden in Anführungszeichen gesetzt. Unterschiedliche Angaben z. B. in Bezug auf Erstbeschreibung und Jahr der Inventari- sierung ergeben sich durch vor allem von STEINDACHNER vorgenommene Neubeschrei- bungen, deren Typen oft erst zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt, nach der Erstbeschreibung, in die Sammlung des NMW überführt worden sind. Fundortangaben wurden nicht immer aktualisiert, da viele historische Ortsbezeichnungen nicht eindeutig zuzuordnen sind. Angaben in eckigen Klammern wurden von den Autoren dieses Kataloges nachträglich ergänzt. Zahlreiche Anmerkungen beziehen sich auf Änderungen im Vergleich zu den früheren Ausgaben der Typenkataloge. Abkürzungen Trotz der problematischen und uneinheitlichen Angaben zum Entwicklungsstadium der Objekte sind die ursprünglichen Bezeichnungen mit den folgenden Abkürzungen beibehalten: m = männlich; w = weiblich; pull. = pullus (pulli); juv. = juvenil; semiad. = semiadult; subad. = subadult; ad. = adult; FO = Fundort(e). Längenangaben: KRL = Kopf-Rumpflänge, GL = Gesamtlänge, SL = Schwanzlänge. GEMEL et al.: Katalog der Typen der Herpetologischen Sammlung des NHM Wien – 2018 35 Museums-Akronyme Einzelne Museums-Akronyme entsprechen nicht dem aktuellen Stand (vgl. LEVITON et al., 1980, SABAJ, 2016), sondern werden in Übereinstimmung mit den Erstbeschreibun- gen beibehalten. Dadurch ist das Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago (bis 1966 CNHM, ab 1966 FMNH) und das Britische Museum London (BM, BMNH) mit jeweils zwei verschiedenen Akronymen abgekürzt.

Introduction The history and significance of the herpetological collection of the Natural History Museum Vienna (NMW) has been reported on several occasions (see FITZINGER, 1856, HÄUPL & TIEDEMANN, 1978, TIEDEMANN & HÄUPL, 1980, TIEDEMANN & GRILLITSCH, 1989, HÄUPL et al., 1994, TIEDEMANN et al., 1994, TIEDEMANN & GRILLITSCH, 1997, TIEDEMANN & GRILLITSCH, 2001a, TIEDEMANN & GRILLITSCH, 2001b, SCHWEIGER & GRILLITSCH, 2018). However, there is a significant number of changes since the last issues of the type catalogues due to an intensive scientific work on the Viennese type material and a revision was therefore urgently needed. Previously published lists of amphibian and reptile types of the Natural History Museum Vienna include HÄUPL & TIEDEMANN (1978), TIEDEMANN & HÄUPL (1980), TIEDEMANN et al. (1994), HÄUPL et al. (1994) and TIEDEMANN & GRILLITSCH (1999). A list is provided for each of the following: 1) Specimens hitherto published in older type catalogues and not considered as types; 2) Types registered but currently not findable; 3) Specimens, considered as "Potential Types". For those taxa without references, the taxon name remains unchanged until today. For the nomenclature of the valid taxa, the following sources are used: Amphibians: FROST et al. (2017). This webpage contains detailed information on the history of the taxa, 36 Annalen des Naturhistorischen Museums in Wien, B, 121 therefore in the chapter "Amphibia" no references to nomenclatural changes are given. Since several sources were used for the chapter "Reptilia", information on taxonomic and nomenclatural changes are given. Special consideration was given to UETZ (Editor): The Reptile Database, http://www.reptile-database.org, update of 1 October 2018, in addition to turtles: Turtle Taxonomy Working Group (2017) and snakes: WALLACH et al. (2014) and MCDIARMID et al. (1999). When possible, sources of lectotype designations have been included to facilitate future taxonomic studies. References concerning original descriptions are not included in the bibliography; here the specification of the previous editions of the type catalogs is retained.

    Other Contributions NATURE NOTES Amphibia: Caudata Ambystoma ordinarium. Predation by a Black-necked Gartersnake (Thamnophis cyrtopsis). The Michoacán Stream Salamander (Ambystoma ordinarium) is a facultatively paedomorphic ambystomatid species. Paedomorphic adults and larvae are found in montane streams, while metamorphic adults are terrestrial, remaining near natal streams (Ruiz-Martínez et al., 2014). Streams inhabited by this species are immersed in pine, pine-oak, and fir for- ests in the central part of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (Luna-Vega et al., 2007). All known localities where A. ordinarium has been recorded are situated between the vicinity of Lake Patzcuaro in the north-central portion of the state of Michoacan and Tianguistenco in the western part of the state of México (Ruiz-Martínez et al., 2014). This species is considered Endangered by the IUCN (IUCN, 2015), is protected by the government of Mexico, under the category Pr (special protection) (AmphibiaWeb; accessed 1April 2016), and Wilson et al. (2013) scored it at the upper end of the medium vulnerability level. Data available on the life history and biology of A. ordinarium is restricted to the species description (Taylor, 1940), distribution (Shaffer, 1984; Anderson and Worthington, 1971), diet composition (Alvarado-Díaz et al., 2002), phylogeny (Weisrock et al., 2006) and the effect of habitat quality on diet diversity (Ruiz-Martínez et al., 2014). We did not find predation records on this species in the literature, and in this note we present information on a predation attack on an adult neotenic A. ordinarium by a Thamnophis cyrtopsis. On 13 July 2010 at 1300 h, while conducting an ecological study of A.

  • (2007) a Photographic Field Guide to the Reptiles and Amphibians Of
    A Photographic Field Guide to the Reptiles and Amphibians of Dominica, West Indies Kristen Alexander Texas A&M University Dominica Study Abroad 2007 Dr. James Woolley Dr. Robert Wharton Abstract: A photographic reference is provided to the 21 reptiles and 4 amphibians reported from the island of Dominica. Descriptions and distribution data are provided for each species observed during this study. For those species that were not captured, a brief description compiled from various sources is included. Introduction: The island of Dominica is located in the Lesser Antilles and is one of the largest Eastern Caribbean islands at 45 km long and 16 km at its widest point (Malhotra and Thorpe, 1999). It is very mountainous which results in extremely varied distribution of habitats on the island ranging from elfin forest in the highest elevations, to rainforest in the mountains, to dry forest near the coast. The greatest density of reptiles is known to occur in these dry coastal areas (Evans and James, 1997). Dominica is home to 4 amphibian species and 21 (previously 20) reptile species. Five of these are endemic to the Lesser Antilles and 4 are endemic to the island of Dominica itself (Evans and James, 1997). The addition of Anolis cristatellus to species lists of Dominica has made many guides and species lists outdated. Evans and James (1997) provides a brief description of many of the species and their habitats, but this booklet is inadequate for easy, accurate identification. Previous student projects have documented the reptiles and amphibians of Dominica (Quick, 2001), but there is no good source for students to refer to for identification of these species.

Fossil lizards and snakes from Ano Metochi – a diverse squamate fauna from the latest Miocene of northern Greece Georgios L. Georgalisa,b, Andrea Villab and Massimo Delfinob,c aDepartment of Geosciences, University of Fribourg/Freiburg, Fribourg, Switzerland; bDipartimento di Scienze della Terra, Università di Torino, Torino, Italy; cInstitut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Edifici ICTA-ICP, Barcelona, Spain ABSTRACT We here describe a new squamate fauna from the late Miocene (Messinian, MN 13) of Ano Metochi, northern Greece. The lizard fauna of Ano Metochi is here shown to be rather diverse, consisting of lacertids, anguids, and potential cordylids, while snakes are also abundant, consisting of scolecophidians, natricines and at KEYWORDS least two different colubrines. If our identification is correct, the Ano Metochi cordylids are the first ones Squamata; Miocene; identified from Greece and they are also the youngest representatives of this group in Europe. A previously extinction; taxonomy; described scincoid from the adjacent locality of Maramena is here tentatively also referred to cordylids, biogeography strengthening a long term survival of this group until at least the latest Miocene. The scolecophidian from Ano Metochi cannot be attributed with certainty to either typhlopids or leptotyphlopids, which still inhabit the Mediterranean region. The find nevertheless adds further to the poor fossil record of these snakes. Comparison of the Ano Metochi herpetofauna with that of the adjacent locality of Maramena reveals similarities, but also striking differences among their squamate compositions.
