Enhydris plumbea
No full textEnhydris plumbea (Boie, 1827) (Fig. 18) Material examined. – LSUHC 7823, 7890, 7972, 7995–96: Che Teal Chrum, 5–11 Aug.2006. Remarks. – Four females (LSUHC 7823, 7890, 7972, 7995; SVL 279–383 mm) and one male (LSUHC 1996; SVL 232 mm) match Taylor’s (1965) diagnosis and description of Thai specimens in having 19 dorsal scale rows; the single internasal not touching the loreal; dark olive above with three outer dorsal scale rows yellow; and a yellow venter. All specimens were collected at night in temporary rain pools and buffalo wallows within the village. Daltry & Chenang (2000), Long et al. (2001), and Daltry & Traeholt (2003) reported this species from the central Cardamoms.Published as part of Grismer, L.

Hemidactylus platyurus
No full textHemidactylus platyurus (Schneider, 1792) Material examined. – LSUHC 7853: Che Teal Chrum, 8 Aug.2006. Remarks. – A broken tail was recovered from a mis-capture of a specimen 2 m up on the side of a tree in the forested area surrounding Che Teal Chrum Village. It is identified as belonging to Hemidactylus platyurus (fide Carranza & Arnold, 2006) and not H. craspedotus in that the fringe on the tail is one-quarter the width of the body of the tail whereas in H. craspedotus the fringe is equal to the width of the body of the tail. The morphology of LSUHC 7853 matches that of the tails of LSUHC 7323–24 from the northeastern Cardamoms and additional material from West Malaysia (LSUHC 3874, 5564, 6430, 6636, 6732, 7146, 8230). The tail was compared to the tails of seven H. craspedotus, (LSUHC 4754, 5080–81, 5613, 6316, 6330, 6672) from West Malaysia.Published as part of Grismer, L.

Boiga cyanea
No full textBoiga cyanea (Duméril, Bibron & Duméril, 1854) (Fig. 17) Material examined. – LSUHC 7879: Camp 1, 6 Aug.2006. Remarks. – An adult female (SVL 944 mm) agrees with the description of this species by Taylor (1965) and that of a specimen from the central Cardamoms (Stuart & Emmett, 2006) in having eight supralabials; 12 infralabials; one preocular; two postoculars; 21 body scale rows with enlarged vertebrals; 252 ventral scales; 138 divided, subcaudal scales; and being uniform green above with black interstitial skin. This species has been previously reported from central Cambodia (Saint Girons, 1972), the central Cardamoms (Stuart & Emmet, 2006), and hilly eastern Cambodia (Stuart et al., 2006). This specimen was found at night approximately 3 m above the ground crawling through the branches of a small tree.Published as part of Grismer, L.

Chiromantis nongkhorensis
No full textChiromantis nongkhorensis (Cochran, 1927) (Fig. 10) Material examined. – LSUHC 7767: Pramaoy, 4 Aug.2006; LSUHC 7816: Che Teal Chrum, 5 Aug.2006; LSUHC 7833, 7841–46: Camp 1, 6 Aug.2006. Remarks. – Nine specimens agree with Cochran’s (1927) description of the type series from Nong Khor in southeastern Thailand and Stuart & Emmett’s (2006) description of specimens from the central Cardamoms, and two specimens collected from the northeastern Cardamoms (Grismer et al., 2007a) in having the two outer fingers (digits III and IV) nearly opposable to the inner two (digits I and II); interorbital distance much greater than the width of the upper eyelid; SVL greater than 20 mm (SVL 26–35 mm in our sample); dorsum reddish-brown with dark, transverse blotches and barred limbs; head slightly wider than body; tibiotarsal articulation reaching the eye or slightly beyond it; toes nearly completely webbed; canthus angular; tympanum distinct. Taylor (1962) stated that the outer fingers are 2/3 webbed but in our specimens, webbing is restricted to the base with the fingers being 1/4–1/2 webbed at most. All specimens were calling while seated on small leaves of low bushes adjacent to temporary rain pools along the edge of the main trail. Stuart & Emmet (2006) report Chiromantis nongkhorensis from the central and southeastern Cardamoms and Grismer et al. (2007a) report it from the northeastern Cardamoms.Published as part of Grismer, L.

Typhlops diardii Schlegel 1839
No full text<i>Typhlops diardii</i> Schlegel, 1839 <p>(Fig. 16)</p> <p> <i>Material examined. –</i> LSUHC 7969: Che Teal Chrum, 12 Aug.2006.</p> <p> <i>Remarks. –</i> A single juvenile (SVL 97 mm) matches Wallach’s (2001) diagnosis reasonably well in having the preocular scale separate from the nasal scale; inferior nasal suture contacting the second supralabial; two postoculars; 28 midbody scale rows reducing to 24 posteriorly; eight rows of subcaudal scales; eye distinct with a pupil; parietals twice as broad as deep; and a gradual, lateral transition between the opaquely purple dorsal coloration (specimen nearly ready to shed) and the cream-colored venter. It differs from Wallach’s (2001) diagnosis in having 383 total middorsal scales as opposed to 298–341 (Wallach, 2001:40; <i>n</i> = 6). In this regard, it falls within the range of <i>T. muelleri</i> (298–402), which has been reported from the central Cardamoms (Stuart & Emmett, 2006).</p> <p>Although this is the first record of this species from Cambodia, it has been reported to range from India to Thailand and Vietnam (see David & Vogel, 1996) so its occurrence in Cambodia is not unexpected. The specimen was dug up from a garden by a villager.</p>Published as part of <i>Grismer, L.

Rhacophoridae Hoffman 1932
No full textRhacophoridae Remarks. – Delorme et al. (2005), Frost et al. (2006), and Wilkinson et al. (2002) convincingly demonstrated that Chirixalus Boulenger, 1893, is paraphyletic with respect to other rhacophorid genera. To avoid this paraphyly, Frost et al. (2006) placed C. palpebralis into their newly formed genus Feihyla, and Delorme et al. (2005) placed C. gracilipes into their new genus Aquixalus. Chirixalus romeri, C. ocellatus, and C. vittatus were left incerta sedis by Frost et al. (2006) although Wilkinson et al. (2002) indicates that C. vittatus may be most closely related to Polypedates Tschudi, 1838, and Frost et al. (2006) suspect that C. romeri and C. ocellatus may eventually be transferred into Feihyla. Frost et al. (2006) placed the remainder of Chirixalus in the synonymy of Chiromantis Peters 1854. However, it should be cautioned that this latter arrangement is based only on the phylogenetic placement of C. doriae (see Wilkinson et al., 2002) and should be regarded as tentative. Nonetheless, we believe that the classification of Frost et al. (2006: Appendix 7) provides a taxonomy, which, at this point, is most consistent with what is currently believed to be the best estimate of this groups evolutionary relationships.Published as part of Grismer, L.
