A critically endangered new species of<i>Nectophrynoides</i>(Anura: Bufonidae) from the Kihansi Gorge, Udzungwa Mountains, Tanzania

J. C. Poynton, Kim M. Howell, Barry T. Clarke et al. · 1 Jan 1998

Abstract A new species of the Tanzanian ovoviviparous dwarf toad Nectophrynoides is described from the Kihansi River Gorge in the Udzungwa Mountains, and a key to the genus provided. The new species, currently known only from small patches of spray-dependent wetland vegetation associated with Kihansi Gorge waterfalls, is probably the most vulnerable member of this…

Phylogenetic relationships of African caecilians (Amphibia: Gymnophiona): Insights from mitochondrial rRNA gene sequences

Mark Wilkinson, Simon P. Loader, David J. Gower et al. · 1 Dec 2003

Abstract Africa (excluding the Seychelles) has a diverse caecilian fauna, including the endemic family Scolecomorphidae and six endemic genera of the more cosmopolitan Caeciliidae. Previous molecular phylogenetic studies have not included any caecilians from the African mainland. Partial 12S and 16S mitochondrial gene sequences were obtained for two species of the endemic African Scolecomorphidae and…

Phylogenetic relationships of southern African geckos in the Pachydactylus group (Squamata: Gekkonidae)

Aaron M. Bauer, Trip Lamb · 1 Dec 2005

Abstract Pachydactylus and its close relatives (Chondrodactylus, Colopus, Palmatogecko) constitute the most species‐rich component of the southern African gekkonid fauna. We conducted a phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial (cytb, 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA) and nuclear (RAG‐1) gene sequences for these geckos. Pachydactylus tetensis + P. tuberculosus form the sister group to the remaining taxa, and we…

On the identity of<i>lacerta punctata</i>Linnaeus 1758, the type species of the genus<i>Euprepis</i>Wagler 1830, and the generic assignment of Afro‐Malagasy skinks

Aaron M. Bauer · 1 Jun 2003

Abstract A recent phylogenetic revision placed Afro‐Malagasy Mabuya Fitzinger, 1826 into the genus Euprepis Wagler, 1830, with the type species Lacerta punctata Linnaeus, 1758 (syn. Mabuya homalocephala fide Andersson [1900]). Identification of L. punctatus with Euprepis destabilizes existing name usage for both a common southern African skink and a common south Asian skink. Reconsideration of…

Evolutionary scenarios in the <i>Pachydactylus</i> Group geckos of southern Africa: new hypotheses

Aaron M. Bauer · 1 Jan 1999

Abstract Gekkonid lizards constitute one of the most diverse and highly endemic components of the southern African herpetofauna. Although higher order relationships among African geckos remain obscure, the Pachydactylus Group has been widely accepted as monophyletic. Within this clade many taxa are restricted to particular substrate types. The historical subdivision of these substrates may have…
