A new species of torrent-dwelling bufonid frog of the genus Ansonia is described from the Isthmus of Kra, Thailand. Ansonia kraensis is morphologically similar to Malaysian A. malayana, but differs from it in ventral coloration and larval morphology. Occurrence of A. kraensis in this region suggests a heterogeneous nature of the anuran fauna between northern and southern regions of the Malay Peninsula.

Article Synopsis
- The Malayan banded wolf snake (Lycodon subcinctus) has an intricate taxonomic history, with confusion surrounding its classification, particularly regarding the name Anoplophallus maculatus.
- Recent studies proposed raising a Chinese population of L. subcinctus to a species level, leading researchers to clarify that Anoplophallus maculatus actually refers to a different Neotropical snake.
- As a resolution, a new species name, Lycodon neomaculatus sp. nov., has been proposed for Chinese populations and is characterized by distinct color patterns and scalation, with its distribution being separate from L. subcinctus.

Background: Human-commensal species often display deep ancestral genetic structure within their native range and founder-effects and/or evidence of multiple introductions and admixture in newly established areas. We investigated the phylogeography of Eutropis multifasciata, an abundant human-commensal scincid lizard that occurs across Southeast Asia, to determine the extent of its native range and to assess the sources and signatures of human introduction outside of the native range. We sequenced over 350 samples of E.
