Tarsius lariang: A new primate species from western central Sulawesi
No full textOn the basis of morphological, anatomical, and acoustic analyses, the tarsiers of the Gimpu region on Sulawesi belong to a previously undescribed species of the genus Tarsius Storr, 1780. We describe the new taxon as Tarsius lariang new species. In November 2001, S. Merker collected 8 specimens of Tarsius lariang near Gimpu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Four of them were transferred to the Indonesian Institute of Sciences at Cibinong to be held in an enclosure, and after their deaths become part of the collection of the Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense, Bogor. The new species is distinctive in pelage, skull, and body proportions, and in vocalization. We describe the unique territorial duet song characteristic for them and place the taxon into a biogeographic framework developed in previous studies
The Tenasserim Lutung, Trachypithecus barbei (Blyth, 1847) (Primates: Cercopithecidae): Description of a live specimen, and a reassessment of phylogenetic affinities, taxonomic history, and distribution
No full textThe Tenasserim lutung
Trachypithecus barbei
was previously known from museum specimens and field observations only. We discovered a zoo specimen and present the first confirmed evidence for the continued existence of the species since 1967. We describe the cranial pelage and coloration characteristics of this species which were previously unknown. We present first molecular evidence for recognizing
T. barbei
as a distinct species and for assessing its phylogenetic affinities relative to other members of the genus
Trachypithecus
. We document the taxonomic history of
T. barbei
and present a distribution map based on a compilation of all known locality records

A New Reconstruction of the Shanidar 5 Cranium
No full textA reconsideration of the Iraqi Neandertal Shanidar 5 cranium has demonstrated that the left parietal bone was incorrectly oriented. The proper orientation removes any indication of the mid-sagittal parietal profile of the specimen. It is therefore no longer possible to maintain that the individual experienced artificial cranial deformation, although Shanidar 5 and the other Shanidar Neandertal crania have unusual levels frontal mid-sagittal flatness.Une nouvelle observation du crâne néandertalien Shanidar 5 (Irak), a montré que, lors de sa reconstruction, le pariétal gauche avait été mal positionné. Une correction de l'orientation du pariétal enlève toute indication du profil sagittal des pariétaux. Il n 'est donc plus possible de maintenir que Shanidar 5 a subi une déformation artificielle du crâne et ce même si tous les crânes néandertaliens de Shanidar présentent un aplatissement frontal exceptionnel.Chech M., Groves Colin P., Thorne Alan, Trinkaus Erik.

No full textFigure 4. A, discriminant analysis, based on four variables. Adult specimens only. DF1 accounts for 95.6% of the variance, and contrasts palate length, bicanine breadth and occipital crest breadth with greatest length; DF2 accounts for 4.4%, and contrasts greatest length with palate length. B, same as for (A), but including juveniles, subadults, and two skulls of Paradoxurus jerdoni. DF1 accounts for 98.2% of the variance, and, as in (A), contrasts palate length, bicanine breadth, and occipital crest breadth with greatest length; DF2 accounts for 1.8%, and again contrasts greatest length with palate length.Published as part of Groves, Colin P., Rajapaksha, Channa & Manemandra-Arachchi, Kelum, 2009, The taxonomy of the endemic golden palm civet of Sri Lanka, pp. 238-251 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 155 (1) on page 244, DOI: 10.1111/j.1096-3642.2008.00451.x, http://zenodo.org/record/544486

If its distribution excludes the Pontianak vicinity (the type locality of Pongo borneo) it will require renaming.
