The pitviper species Trimeresurus caudornatus was recently described based on only two specimens from Nabang Town, Yingjiang County, Yunnan Province, China. Here, we provide additional data on this species based on a re-examination of 19 preserved specimens, 16 specimens reported in earlier literature sources, and additional photo-documented records from northern Myanmar (Burma) and adjacent China. All new specimens were previously identified as Trimeresurus albolabris sensu lato or Trimeresurus septentrionalis sensu lato.

- A new species of green pitviper named Trimeresurus cyanolabris sp. nov. has been identified in southern and central coastal Vietnam, based on both physical features and DNA analysis.
- This species is characterized by its small size (maximum 638 mm), distinct scale patterns, and unique coloration, including bright yellow eyes and blue shades on its throat and chin.
- The study highlights the phylogenetic separation of this species from similar ones, particularly T. rubeus, and emphasizes the ecological significance of its habitat in tropical forests, which is threatened by deforestation.
An integrative taxonomic analysis recovers a distinctive new species of the gekkonid genus Cyrtodactylus Gray, 1827 from Satun Province in extreme southern Thailand as the sister species to the Cyrtodactylus intermedius group of southern Indochina, approximately 600 km to the northeast across the Gulf of Thailand. Based on 1449 base pairs of the mitochondrial gene NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2) and its flanking tRNAs, the new species, C. disjunctus sp.
