We describe a new species of the genus Gekko from Phitsanulok Province, central Thailand. flavimaritus sp. nov. can be distinguished its congeners by combination morphological characters: medium size for (snout–vent length 76.0–84.5 mm in six adult males, 67.5–78.3 11 females); nares contact with rostral; two enlarged postmentals; 12–16 dorsal tubercle rows; 27–35 ventral scale 10–15 subdigital lamellae on first toe, 15–18 fourth toe; finger and toe webbing weakly developed; absent surface...
A new gekkonid lizard, Cyrtodactylus maelanoi sp. nov., from Mae Hong Son Province of the Thai Highlands is described using an integrative taxonomic analysis based on morphology, color pattern, and mitochondrial gene NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2) its flanking tRNAs. Phylogenetic analyses place species within clade 1 C. sinyineensis group as sister to inthanon with uncorrected pairwise sequence divergence 3.9%. Collection data gathered in field indicate that nov. a habitat generalist....
Species delimitation and species diagnosis must remain separate operations to avoid constructing taxonomies comprised of non-monophyletic based on morphological similarity as opposed phylogenetic propinquity. This is particularly true for highly specialized such the range-restricted upland taxa in
A new karst-dwelling bent-toed gecko of the Cyrtodactylus intermedius group is described from Khlong Hat District, Sa Kaeo Province, eastern Thailand, based on an integrative taxonomic analysis genetic data and morphological characteristics. Phylogenetic analyses using mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2) gene revealed that topotypes C. were sister to a clade containing kulenensis Cambodia, unnamed lineage Sakaerat Biosphere Reserve in Nakhon Ratchasima here as khlonghatensis sp....
Cyrtodactylusmonilatussp. nov. is described from Si Sawat District, Kanchanaburi Province, in western Thailand. The new species superficially resembles C.zebraicus Taylor, 1962 southern However, differences between the and other congeners were supported by an integrative taxonomic analysis of molecular morphological data. Phylogenetic analyses based on mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2) gene showed that a member C.oldhami group closely related to Cyrtodactylus sp. MT468911...
The exploration of unsurveyed areas in southern Thailand discovered two new karst-adapted species, Cyrtodactylussungaiupesp. nov. and Cyrtodactyluswangkhramensissp. nov., from Thung Wa La-ngu Districts, Satun Province, respectively. These species are members the C.pulchellus group that occur along Thai-Malay Peninsula. can be distinguished all other congeners by their key morphological characters genetic divergence. Morphologically, diagnosed having a combination differences body size;...
Based on molecular and morphological data sets, we describe a new species of scincid lizard the genus Lygosoma from Indochina, redescribe true quadrupes (Linnaeus, 1766). The is small slender, represents third member L. complex, increasing diversity recognized in Southeast Asia to 24. reevaluation vouchered specimens type locality sensu Linnaeus (1766), geographic distribution restricted island Java Indonesia. With 10 Thailand, country possesses considerable species-level these enigmatic,...
Two new insular rock geckos in the genus Cnemaspis are described from Ko Samui Surat Thani Province and Similan Phang-nga Province, southern Thailand, based on a combination of morphological mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2) data. Both species represent divergent lineages within Cnemaspissiamensis group. Cnemaspissamuisp. nov. is distinguished other group by having eight or nine supralabial infralabial scales; 5-8 pore-bearing precloacal scales males, pores rounded; 25-27...
The taxonomy and phylogeny of the
The bent-toed geckos of the Cyrtodactyluspulchellus group are widely distributed along Thai-Malay Peninsula. Although taxonomic and phylogenetic studies this species have been continuously conducted, only some populations from Thailand included, resulting in hidden diversity within group. In study, we used morphological molecular data to clarify status describe a new population Tarutao Island, Satun Province, southern Thailand. Cyrtodactylusstellatussp. nov. can be distinguished its...
An integrative taxonomic study recognized a new species of the
We describe a new species of the gekkonid genus Cnemaspi s from Erawan National Park in Kanchanaburi Province western Thailand. Molecular phylogenetic analyses, based on mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 gene and flanking tRNAs, revealed that Cnemaspis auriventralis sp. nov. is nested within C. siamensis group closely related to huaseesom , but has uncorrected pairwise genetic divergences 12.12–27.92% all other group. The also distinguished by having combination snout-vent length...
