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.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers have identified a new species named Cyrtodactylus thalang sp. nov. from Phuket Island, Thailand, within the Cyrtodactylus brevipalmatus group.
  • The new species shows significant genetic and morphological differences from closely related species, indicated by a 14.7% to 15.1% variation in mitochondrial gene ND2 and distinct physical traits.
  • The geographical analysis suggests that the brevipalmatus group originated in western Indochina, with speciation events occurring along the Tenasserim Mountains and subsequent dispersal across parts of northern Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam.

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: The paper presents novel findings of little-known species of rodents, the blind tree mice in Son La Province, Vietnam, with the first morphological and genetic characterisation and taxonomical description of the new species, . The study also summarises all the data available on this genus species distribution, museum collections and notes on its taxonomy, which are important to establish the proper conservation status of the species. An exhaustive map of the findings is provided, along with a refined taxonomic key for all six currently morphologically characterised species of the genus.

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.
