Coeliccia rolandorum sp. nov. is described from the eastern Cambodia (holotype: Cambodia, Mondulkiri Province, Buu Sraa Waterfall environs, 12°34' N 107°24' E, ~780 m a.s.l., 16 June 2014, RMNH) and southern and central Vietnam. It is related to C. kazukoae, which is known from the Cardamom and Sankamphaeng Mts., and replaces it in eastern Indochina. New distributional data on C. kazukoae are presented and its characters are discussed with respect to their change with age.

The gekkonid lizard Cyrtodactylus intermedius was formerly considered to be a single widespread species in hilly areas across eastern Thailand through southern Vietnam but has recently been partitioned into a complex of 12 nominal species across its range. A population belonging to the C. intermedius group was recently found in an isolated limestone karst block in Kampot Province in southwestern Cambodia, part of which lies within the recently designated Phnom Preah Kuhear Loung Natural Heritage Site.

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.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the importance of forecasting future health issues in the USA for effective planning and public awareness regarding disease and injury burdens.
- It describes the methodology for predicting life expectancy, cause-specific mortality, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) from 2022 to 2050 using the Global Burden of Diseases framework.
- The forecasting includes various scenarios to assess the potential impacts of health risks and improvements across the country, focusing on demographic trends and health-related risk factors.
Article Synopsis
- * Recent efforts to stop smoking haven't been put into action yet, and it’s important to see what could happen if smoking rates stay the same or improve.
- * Researchers used models to predict health outcomes by 2050 based on different scenarios of smoking rates, showing that cutting smoking could greatly improve health and life expectancy.

- These new species are different from others because of their special colors and shapes.
- The study also looked at their genes and showed that these new species only live in eastern Thailand, making them unique to that area.
