Paniegekko Bauer, Jackman, Sadlier & Whitaker
No full textPaniegekko Bauer, Jackman, Sadlier & Whitaker gen. nov. Content. Paniegekko madjo (Bauer, Jones & Sadlier, 2000) (Fig. 3 D) Type species. Bavayia madjo Bauer, Jones & Sadlier, 2000, here designated. Etymology. The generic name is derived from the Panié massif, the dominant landform of northeastern New Caledonia, and gekko, from the Malay ‘gekoq’, onomatopoeia of the call of the species Gekko gecko and the common name to all limbed gekkotans. A Sri Lankan origin for the word gekko, derived from the Sinhalese word ‘gego’, is also possible (de Silva & Bauer 2008). The name is masculine and should be pronounced “Pa-nē-āgekko.” The two known localities for this monotypic genus are Mt. Ignambi and Mt. Panié, both part of the Panié massif. Definition and Diagnosis. Paniegekko may be distinguished from all other New Caledonian diplodactylid geckos by the following combination of character states: body size moderate (to 75mm SVL), head large, tail slender and elongate (> 110 % SVL); dorsal scalation granular, homogeneous; body without extensive skin webs or flaps; expanded subdigital lamellae under all toes; subdigital lamellae of digits II–V of manus and pes unpaired basally and divided distally; claw of digit I of manus and pes positioned lateral to a single, undivided apical lamella; precloacal pores in two or more rows in males, longest row extending well onto thighs (50 or more pores total); dorsal coloration pattern brown with transverse chevrons; venter dull grayish, never yellow. Distribution. Paniegekko is known only from Mt. Ignambi and Mt. Panié in northeastern New Caledonia. Remarks. See Bauer and Sadlier (2000) for more information on P. m a d j o. Erection of a new genus for Bavayia madjo was necessitated to maintain the monophyly of Bavayia (see above).Published as part of Bauer, Aaron M., Jackman, Todd R., Sadlier, Ross A. & Whitaker, Anthony H., 2012, Revision of the giant geckos of New Caledonia (Reptilia: Diplodactylidae: Rhacodactylus), pp. 1-52 in Zootaxa 3404 on page 16, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21173

Type species. Bavayia validiclavis Sadlier, 1989 by original designation. Diagnosis. Dierogekko may be distinguished from all other New Caledonian diplodactylid geckos by the following combination of character states: body size very small (<46 mm SVL); head small; tail 92–120 % of SVL; dorsal scalation granular, homogeneous; body without extensive skin webs or flaps; expanded subdigital lamellae under all toes; lamellae under penultimate phalanx of digits II–V of manus and pes paired or single; claw of digit I of manus and pes in a groove in the apical lamella between a larger medial scansor and a smaller lateral scansor; precloacal pores in one or two rows in males (10–20 pores in total), not extending onto thighs; dorsal pattern of longitudinal lines or series of spots or patternless, never with transverse markings; venter usually cream to light brown, sometimes pale yellow. Distribution. Dierogekko is restricted to northern New Caledonia, with populations extending up the west coast from the Massif de Koniambo to Poum and on the Panié massif (Mt. Mandjélia and Mt. Panié) on the east coast. It is also known from the northern islands of Île Yandé and Île Baaba, and on Île Art and Île Pott in the Îles Belep. It is likely that its distribution is more continuous across this region than existing data show. Remarks. See Bauer and Sadlier (2000) and Bauer et al. (2006 b) for detailed information on members of this genus. Additional field work in northern New Caledonia has revealed a new species of Dierogekko on Île Baaba and hitherto unexpected genetic variation in D. koniambo (Skipwith et al. submitted).Published as part of Bauer, Aaron M., Jackman, Todd R., Sadlier, Ross A. & Whitaker, Anthony H., 2012, Revision of the giant geckos of New Caledonia (Reptilia: Diplodactylidae: Rhacodactylus), pp. 1-52 in Zootaxa 3404 on page 15, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21173

Mniarogekko Bauer, Whitaker, Sadlier & Jackman, sp. nov.
No full textMniarogekko Bauer, Whitaker, Sadlier & Jackman gen. nov. Content. Mniarogekko chahoua (Bavay 1869), M. jalu sp. nov. Bauer, Whitaker, Sadlier & Jackman, 2012 (Fig. 3 H; see below for description). Type species. Platydactylus chahoua Bavay, 1869, here designated. Etymology. The generic name is derived from the Greek word mniaros, meaning mossy and gekko, from the Malay ‘gekoq’, onomatopoeia of the call of the species Gekko gecko and the common name to all limbed gekkotans. A Sri Lankan origin for the word gekko, derived from the Sinhalese word ‘gego’, is also possible (de Silva & Bauer, 2008). The name is masculine and should be pronounced “Nē-aro-gekko.” It refers to the mossy or lichenous markings that are common on members of this genus. The vernacular names “New Caledonian mossy gecko ” and “Mossy prehensile-tailed gecko ” are in wide use in the herpetocultural literature for M. chahoua (de Vo s j o l i et al. 2003). Definition and Diagnosis. Mniarogekko may be distinguished from all other New Caledonian diplodactylid geckos by the following combination of character states: body large (to 147 mm SVL); head moderately-sized; tail approximately equal to SVL; dorsal scalation granular, homogeneous; loose folds of skin present on margins of mandible and along ventrolateral border of body; expanded undivided subdigital lamellae under all toes; webbing between digits relatively extensive; claw of digit I of manus and pes positioned lateral to a single, undivided apical lamella; precloacal pores in three or four rows in males, anterior two rows extending onto base of thighs (70–120 pores in total); dorsal color pattern highly variable but consisting of a gray, olive, brown, reddish or orangey background usually with dark middorsal blotches and/or transverse markings, with one or more patches of ashy to lichenous green patches; venter cream to greenish. Distribution. Mniarogekko occurs broadly on the Grande Terre. Seipp and Henkel (2000, 2011) believed that M. chahoua occurred island-wide, but the number of verified localities is limited and there may be large gaps (Langner 2009). Nearly all known locality records from the Grande Terre are from low elevation valleys. The genus also is present on the Îles Belep and has been recorded from unstated localities on the Île des Pins (Seipp & Klemmer 1994; Seipp & Obst 1994; de Vosjoli 1995; de Vosjoli & Fast 1995; Seipp & Henkel 2000, 2011). Remarks. See below for the description of a new species of Mniarogekko.Published as part of Bauer, Aaron M., Jackman, Todd R., Sadlier, Ross A. & Whitaker, Anthony H., 2012, Revision of the giant geckos of New Caledonia (Reptilia: Diplodactylidae: Rhacodactylus), pp. 1-52 in Zootaxa 3404 on pages 17-18, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21173
Enantiomerisation of tetrahedral homochiral [M4L6] clusters: Synchronised four Bailar twists and six atropenantiomerisation processes monitored by temperature-dependent dynamic H-1 NMR spectroscopy
No full textTemperature-dependent H-1 NMR studies prove homochiral, racemic [(Delta,Delta,Delta,Delta)/(Lambda,Lambda,Lambda,Lambda]-[(NH4)(4)boolean AND[Mg-4(L-1)(6)]} (1) to be kinetically stable on the NMR timescale. Due to steric reasons, rotation around the central C-C single bond in (L-1)(2-) is blocked, which prevents 1 from enantiomerisation. Most interestingly, however, the H-1 NMR spectrum of racemic 2a reveals dynamic temperature dependence. This phenomenon can be explained by simultaneous Bailar twists at the four octahedrally coordinated magnesium centres, synchronised with the sterically unhindered atropenantiomerisation processes around the C-C single bonds of the six ligands (L-2)(2-), leading to the unprecedented enantiomerisation (Delta,Delta,Delta,Delta)-2a reversible arrow (Lambda,Lambda,Lambda,Lambda)-2a. The profound nondissociative rearrangement occurs without the formation of diastereoisomers. Supplementary support for the interpretation of the temperature-dependent dynamic H-1 NMR spectra of 2 a is presented by additional studies of [(Delta,Delta,Delta,Delta)/(Lambda,Lambda,Lambda,Lambda]-{EtNH3)(4)boolean AND[Mg-4(L-2)(6)]} (2b). In 2 a and 2b, the ether methylene protons exhibit identical temperature dependence. However, with addition, the methylene protons of the ethyl ammonium groups of 2b display similar temperature dependence as the ligand ether methylene protons
