We describe Gekko pradapdao sp. nov. from Tham Khao Chan (Khao Cave), Tha Luang District, Lopburi Province, in central Thailand. The new species, a member of the subgenus Gekko, differs all currently recognized species by following combination morphological characters and pattern: maximal known snout-vent length 127.1 mm, lack contact between nostrils rostral, 24–28 interorbital scales supraciliaries, 89–91 scale rows around midbody, 16–18 dorsal tubercle at 30–34 ventral 11–13 precloacal...
We describe a new kukri snake, Oligodon cicadophagus sp. nov., from the limestone reliefs of Phuket Mountain Range in Krabi and Phang-Nga provinces southern peninsular Thailand. A member cinereus group, it can be distinguished all other congeneric species by combination its maximal known snout-vent length 537 mm; 11 maxillary teeth; eight supralabials; one preocular presubocular; 17-17-15 dorsal scale rows; 159–168 ventrals, 50 subcaudals males; single anal scale; hemipenes bilobed with...
We describe Dixonius hinchangsi sp. nov. from a sandstone area near Hin Chang Si, Khon Kaen Province, northeastern Thailand. The new species differs all currently recognized by the following combination of morphological characters and pattern: maximal known snout-vent length 50.1 mm, 12 longitudinal rows dorsal tubercles; 30 to 34 paravertebral 23 27 ventral scales across abdomen; six eight precloacal pores in males, no females; canthal stripe; strongly barred lips; spotted uniform pattern...
We describe Gehyra shiva sp. nov. from limestone cave and hills in Khlong Hat District, Sa Kaeo Province, eastern Thailand, near the border with Cambodia. The new species differs all currently recognized Southeast Asian by following combination of morphological characters dorsal color pattern: maximal known snout-vent length 53.8 mm, 8-10 supralabials, 54-67 46-56 ventral scale rows around midbody, absence skin folds on limbs, 34-37 preanofemoral pores males a continuous series extending...
We describe Gekko shiva sp. nov. from limestone cave and hills in Khlong Hat District, Sa Kaeo Province, eastern Thailand, near the border with Cambodia. The new species, a member of subgenus Gekko, differs all currently recognized species by following combination morphological characters pattern: maximal known snout-vent length 131.9 mm, lack contact between nostrils rostral, 28 or 29 interorbital scales supraciliaries, 80–86 scale rows around midbody, 18 dorsal tubercle at 35–37 ventral...
The cytogenetics of the southern short-horned tree dragon (Acanthosaura meridiona) are not reported yet. This study describes karyotype Acanthosaura meridiona Trivalairat, Sumontha, Kunya & Chaingkul, 2022 from Thailand. We using Giemsa staining, Ag-NOR banding, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) techniques microsatellites d(CA)15, d(TA)15, d(CGG)10, d(CAA)10 probes to analyze chromosome. A. is 2n = 34 chromosomes (fundamental number 46), which 5 pairs were large metacentric...
The barbels of the subfamilies ´Poropuntinae´ and Smiliogastrinae within family Cyprinidae play a significant role as food source for fish in artisanal fisheries are highly valued ornamental Thailand. In this study, we employed both conventional molecular cytogenetics to analyze karyotype 15 species from two cyprinid lineages. All analyzed had diploid chromosome number 2n = 50. Despite sharing same 2n, our analyses revealed species-specific distribution patterns mapped microsatellite motifs...
We describe Dixonius chotjuckdikuli sp. nov. from Khao Ebid (Mount Ibit), Yoi District, Phetchaburi Province, western Thailand. The new, limestone-dwelling species differs all currently recognized of by the following combination morphological characters and pattern: maximal known snout-vent length 45.6 mm, 18 (rarely 16) longitudinal rows dorsal tubercles; 31 to 34 paravertebral scales; ventral scales across abdomen; 20 22 interciliary 5 or 6 precloacal pores in males, no females; a marked...
We describe Cyrtodactylus meesookae sp. nov. from a cave on Khao Nam Phu (14°34’33.2”N, 101°08’42.6”E), limestone hill in Saraburi Province, central Thailand, and C. wiboonatthapoli (previously confused with papilionoides) Pha Sana (17°10’33.8”N 101°57’52.5”E), Loei northeastern Thailand. These two micro-endemic, trogloxene species, separated by distance of about 300 airline km, share typical habitus for limestone-dwelling species relatively similar dorsal pattern, but they are readily...
We describe Cyrtodactylus panitvongi sp. nov. from Tham Khao Chan (14°58’42.2”N 101°18’40.6”E), a limestone cave in Lopburi Province, central Thailand. The new species is characterized by the following combination of morphological characters and pattern: maximal known snout-vent length 85 mm, 15–18 interorbital scales, 35–37 interciliary 10–12 supralabials, 9–11 infralabials, 29–33 paravertebral tubercles which 22–25 between limb insertions, 18 longitudinal rows dorsal at midbody, 40–42...
We describe Gehyra wongchan sp. nov. from Tham Khao Chan (Khao Cave), Tha Luang District, and Wat Wong, Kok Samrong in Lopburi Province, central Thailand. The new species differs all currently recognized by the following combination of morphological characters dorsal color pattern: maximal known snoutvent length 52.4 mm, 810 supralabials, 7680 4850 ventral scale rows around midbody, absence skin folds on limbs, 17 or 18 preanofemoral pores males a continuous series extending to mid-length...
The family Cyprinidae is the largest freshwater fish group with 377 genera and over 3,000 described species. However, this of has very limited cytogenetics advanced molecular information. Therefore, in study karyotypes other chromosomal characteristics 15 species tribe Systomini (Cyprininae) were examined using Ag-NOR staining along fluorescence situ hybridization (5S 18S rDNA). All share a similar karyotype (2n = 50; NF 88–100) both sexes no differentiated sex chromosome was observed....
This research was the first report on karyological analysis and distribution patterns of repetitive DNA using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique barred gliding lizard, Draco taeniopterus Günther, 1861. The 10 male female specimens were collected from Than To district, Yala province, Thailand. Chromosome preparation performed by direct method bone marrow testis. chromosomes stained conventional staining, NOR-banded, FISH with d(GC)15, d(TA)15, d(CAG)10, d(CAA)10...
