Caenophidian snakes include the file snake genus Acrochordus and advanced colubroidean that radiated mainly during Neogene. Although caenophidian are a well-supported clade, their inferred affinities, based either on molecular or morphological data, remain poorly known controversial. Here, we provide an expanded phylogenetic analysis of Caenophidia use three non-parametric measures support-Shimodaira-Hasegawa-Like test (SHL), Felsentein (FBP) transfer (TBE) bootstrap measures-to evaluate...
Phylogenetic relationships of the agamid lizard genus Phrynocephalus are described in context plate tectonics. A near comprehensive taxon sampling reports three data sets: (1) mitochondrial DNA from ND1 to COI (3' end ND1, tRNAGln, tRNAIle, tRNAMet, ND2, tRNATrp, tRNAAla, tRNAAsn, tRNACys, tRNATyr, and 5' COI) with 1761 aligned positional sites (1595 included, 839 informative), (2) nuclear RAG-1 2760 (342 (3) 25 informative allozyme loci 213 alleles (107 when coded as presence/absence). It...
A new forest skink of the genus Sphenomorphus Fitzinger, 1843 is described from Khanh Hoa Province, southern Vietnam based on morphological characters four specimens and a fragment 653 nucleotides gene COI. yersini sp. nov. characterized by following characters: medium size in adults (snout-vent length up to 55 mm); tail length/snout-vent ratio 1.81; toes reach fingers when limbs adpressed; midbody scale rows 32–34, smooth; paravertebral scales 61–69; ventral 58–67; subcaudal 112;...
Molecular phylogenetic analyses of the sister species Sphenomorphus stellatus and S. praesignis based on mitochondrial genes 12S 16S rRNA recover former as paraphyletic with respect to latter in that a specimen from type locality Peninsular Malaysia is more closely related than Indochinese populations stellatus. Furthermore, phylogeny indicates represent two species, thus resulting four major lineages within this clade. These relationships are consistent multivariate univariate morphological...
The Indochinese Peninsula is recognized as one of the key global biodiversity hotspots. amphibian fauna Indochina (including Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand) richest in world. About 60% known species were described within last 20 years. We review literature our data to assess all recent discoveries taxonomic changes compile first annotated checklist since middle 20th century, including updated faunal lists for Vietnam Thailand. Amphibian checklists Laos are published time. For each we...
The Indochinese Peninsula represents one of the key global biodiversity hotspots in Southeast Asia. herpetofauna Indochina (herein including Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand) currently (as by 10 August 2023) comprises 882 native six invasive species reptiles is richest world. About 40% reptile were discovered or recorded within first two decades 21st century. We review literature our field data to assess all recent discoveries taxonomic changes; we compile an annotated checklist...
The Southeast Asian cascade frog, Rana livida (Blyth, 1856), has long been suspected to be a complex of species. Several different forms are described from across its vast range. loss type material and disparate sampling efforts challenges. Is variability in this species due geographic variation or the presence multiple species? We use concordant evidence morphology, morphometrics, cellular DNA content, allozyme electrophoresis investigate diversity R. Vietnam. Three distinct recognized on...
We describe a new species of the genus Zhangixalus Li, Jiang, Ren & 2019 from Ha Giang Province, Vietnam based on morphological and molecular data. In phylogenetic analyses, is nested in duboisi (Ohler, Marquis, Swan Grosjean, 2000) group, where it sister to Z. with genetic distance 2.51%. The species, franki sp. nov., differs its congeners by combination following characters: size large, SVL 77.9–85.8 mm males; finger webbing formula I1-1II0-1III½-0IV; dorsal surface head body green...
All the species of amphibians and reptiles Vietnam including new records recently described are listed in checklist. At present fauna includes 147 which divided into 35 genera 9 families.
Asian Mountain Toads (Ophryophryne) are a poorly known genus of mostly small-sized anurans from southeastern China and Indochina. To shed light on the systematics within this group, most comprehensive mitochondrial DNA phylogeny for to date is presented, taxonomy biogeography group discussed. Complimented with extensive morphological data (including associated statistical analyses), molecular indicates that Langbian Plateau, in southern Annamite Mountains, Vietnam, one diversity centres...
We present a review of taxonomic status and distribution rhacophorid frog species (Anura, Rhacophoridae, subfamily Rhacophorinae) found in isolated mountain systems southern Vietnam (Annamite Mountains) neighboring regions. On the basis morphological molecular evidences we reconsider taxonomy Vietnamese rhacophorids with special focus on genera Theloderma sensu lato, Philautus Raorchestes , Feihyla Kurixalus Chiromantis Rhacophorus . Two new frogs genus are described from high-elevation...
We describe two new species of the Cyrtodactylus irregularis complex both based on phylogenetic analysis 654 bp COImtDNA gene and morphological analyses voucher specimens from Binh Phuoc Lam Dong provinces, southern Vietnam.Cyrtodactylus bugiamapensis sp. nov. is described monsoon tropical forests Bu Gia Map National Park, BinhPhuoc Province, distinguished remaining representatives C. by a combination thefollowing characters: (1) size medium, with maximum SVL 76.8 mm; (2) original tail...
We review the taxonomy and distribution of Microhyla Tschudi, 1838 (Anura: Microhylidae) species from Vietnam, with a special regional focus on southern parts Annamite mountain range (Kon Tum Langbian Plateaus, Tay Nguyen highlands) its foothills. Recent field work in this area revealed specimens five yet undescribed species, which are differentiated all congeners by combination morphological traits: pineticola sp. nov. Lam Dong Dak Lak provinces; pulchella Province; minuta Nai darevskii Kon...
Based on the results of own field work as well data from literature (Smith, 1924; Ahl, 1931; Bourret, 1937, 1942; Smirnov and Ho, 1983; Nguen 1996; Orlov, 1997; Inger et al., 1999; Orlov Rybaltovsky, 2000a, 2000b; Ziegler Weitkus, Hermann, 2000) additional museum collections we identified 32 species among 5 genera family Rhacophoridae, in Vietnam. This estimate is derived those that have been examined by ourselves taking into account current understanding rhacophorid taxonomy based...
We discuss phylogenetic relationships and taxonomic diversity of the rhacophorid frogs genus Theloderma in sight novel data obtained from Bayesian analysis up to 1987 bp length fragment mtDNA (12S rRNA, tRNA val , 16S rRNA) 90 specimens 21 nominal species 3 Nyctixalus . Our suggest monophyly tribe Nyctixalini, including Th. moloch indicate deep divergence between three major clades: horridum + stellatum group, rest ( sensu stricto). establish new subgenus Stelladerma subgen. nov. for group...
