title: A new species of lowland karst-dwelling Slender Gecko Hemiphyllodactylus Bleeker, 1860 (Squamata: Gekkonidae) from a karstic archipelago in western Cambodia

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Grismer, L. Lee, Sinovas, Pablo, Quah, Evan S. H., Thi, Sothearen, Chourn, Phyroum, Chhin, Sophea, Hun, Seiha, Cobos, Anthony, Geissler, Peter, Ching, Christian, Murdoch, Matthew L. (2025): A new species of lowland karst-dwelling Slender Gecko Hemiphyllodactylus Bleeker, 1860 (Squamata: Gekkonidae) from a karstic archipelago in western Cambodia. Zootaxa 5569 (2): 253-281, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5569.2.3, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5569.2.3AbstractA new species of gekkonid lizard is described from Phnom Khpoh, an isolated karstic hill within an extensive karstic archipelago in Battambang Province, western Cambodia. Phylogenetic analysis using a 1041 base pair fragment of the mitochondrial gene ND2 recovered Hemiphyllodactylus khpoh sp. nov. as the sister species of H. pardalis, found 335 km to the west in southern Thailand. Analyses of meristic, morphometric, and categorical characters of morphology and color pattern differentiated H. khpoh sp. nov. from both the morphologically distinct H. pardalis and the very similar Hemiphyllodactylus sp. from Phnom Kulen, approximately 130 km to the northeast in Siem Reap Province. The statistical morphological analyses and comparisons also showed that H. khpoh sp. nov. is well-differentiated from the recently described H. bokor and H. samkos from the nearby Cardamom Mountains as well from species in clade 6—a recently designated lineage from China, Laos, and Vietnam to which H. khpoh sp. nov. + H. pardalis compose the sister lineage. The discovery of H. khpoh sp. nov. highlights the rich but understudied biodiversity of karstic landscapes, emphasizing the need for continued research in the extensive unexplored karstic archipelago of western Cambodia. This region is poised to reveal unparalleled gekkonid diversity, comparable to that observed in the similarly sized karstic archipelago of the Salween Basin in southern Myanmar. Although karstic landscapes are proving to be some of the most biodiverse habitats on the planet, less than 1% of them are afforded any formal protection.

title: A new species of Pristimantis (Amphibia, Anura, Strabomantidae) from a montane forest of the Pui Pui Protected Forest in central Peru

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Lehr, Edgar, Moravec, Jiří, Wang, Yingtong, Uvizl, Marek (2024): A new species of Pristimantis (Amphibia, Anura, Strabomantidae) from a montane forest of the Pui Pui Protected Forest in central Peru. ZooKeys 1219: 143-163, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1219.129773AbstractHerpetological inventories conducted in the Pui Pui Protected Forest in the central Peruvian Andes between 2012 and 2014 revealed unusually high local anuran richness and endemism. Herein, we describe a new species of Pristimantis discovered in the buffer zone of the protected area between 1550 and 1730 m a. s. l. The description is based on one subadult male (snout – vent length 14.4 mm), one adult female (snout – vent length 26.4 mm), and six juvenile specimens collected in the montane forest between 1550 and 1730 m a. s. l. DNA barcoding placed P. vrazi sp. nov. as the sister taxon to P. rhabdocnemus and in the clade also containing P. lindae, P. sinschi, P. quaquaversus, and one still unnamed Pristimantis species. Pristimantis vrazi sp. nov. differs from all these closely related species by the combination of the following characters: tuberculate dorsum, presence of the tympanum, presence of dentigerous processes on the vomer, absence of vocal slits, a red median horizontal streak across the iris, a narrow black median vertical streak on the lower half of the eye, cream to dark brown dorsal ground coloration, and cream to gray ventral ground coloration.

Zootaxa 5646 (1): 93-114, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5646.1.5, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5646.1.5AbstractSpecimens of snakes from Mexico to northeastern Brazil have been assigned to the taxon Sibon nebulatus. Recent molecular data confirmed the previous suspicions that these specimens in fact belong to distinct species. After examination of the holotype and recently collected specimens, we provide an amended diagnosis and restrict the range of S. nebulatus to northern South America, implying that Central American populations belong to one or several undescribed species. We also describe Sibon nigralbus sp. nov., a new species from the Guiana region. Further investigation is needed to clarify the status of populations in Pará state, Brazil, and in the Magdalena valley in Colombia, where additional species possibly occur.

title: The morphological, chromosomal and molecular illumination of the dramatic diversity of the stripe-backed shrews, Sorex cylindricauda species complex (Eulipotyphla: Soricidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Bannikova, Anna A., Jenkins, Paulina D., Lebedev, Vladimir S., Pavlova, Svetlana V., Yakushov, Vasily D., Raspopova, Alexandra A., Zhu, Yongke, Fang, Yun, Sun, Yue-Hua, Sheftel, Boris I. (2025): The morphological, chromosomal and molecular illumination of the dramatic diversity of the stripe-backed shrews, Sorex cylindricauda species complex (Eulipotyphla: Soricidae). Vertebrate Zoology 75: 227-243, DOI: 10.3897/vz.75.e153115AbstractThe taxonomy of the stripe-backed shrew complex (Sorex cylindricauda species group), distributed in mountains of western China, appears challenging due to remarkable variation in morphological traits and relatively recent times of diversification. According to classical points of view only two or three species of the stripe-backed shrews can be distinguished. However, previous molecular reconstructions revealed at least 14 genetic lineages including a number of undescribed cryptic species. In the current study we revise the taxonomic status of large-sized stripe-backed shrews occurring in high mountain areas in south Gansu, north-western Sichuan and western Qinghai that were previously treated as S. aff. cylindricauda or S. sinalis. The available molecular data place them in a separate species-level lineage of the stripe-backed shrew complex. Our morphological analysis indicate that shrews of this lineage are distinct from the two other large-sized Chinese species, S. cylindricauda and S. sinalis, based on both cranial and external traits. Therefore, we here describe it as a species new to science, the karyotype of which is characterized by 2 n = 26 with an additional B chromosome and NFa = 44. Our molecular phylogenetic analysis demonstrates multiple instances of mitonuclear discordance among lineages within the S. cylindricauda complex, which is likely a result of mtDNA introgression, thus highlighting the important role of reticulation events in the evolution of the group.
