Females CIB 116964–116965 collected by Di-Hao Wu on 13 July 2017, from Shacuoluo, Malu Township (27.639252°N, 105.819409°E; ca 900 m a.s.l.), Jinsha County, Guizhou Province, PR China. Common name. CIB Gecko (“ CIB ” pronounced as “/si:/, /aɪ/, /bi:/”); chéng dű bì hŭ (成Ồ壁ẇ). Etymology. The specific name cib (pronounced as “/kib/”) is in reference to the abbreviation of the type locality, Chengdu Institute of Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (+afifks4±物ffṅNj). Chengdu Institute of Biology is a famous institute with a long and prestigious history in China, cultivating a large number of outstanding herpetologists and promoting the development of Chinese herpetology. Its English common name is directly derived from the scientific name. The Chinese common name is refers to the type locality of this species. Diagnosis.

In preservative (Fig. 7), the pattern of recently preserved specimens resembles that of live animals, but the pale grey coloration on the dorsal surface of body and limbs becomes darker. Variations. Measurements and scale counts of type series specimens are given in Table 5. Ground color on dorsal surface of head, body and tail is also different among each individual from yellowish grey to blackish grey in the wild, most individuals body color become darker after capture. Hemipenial morphology. Description based on paratype SYS r002398 (Fig. 3C). Right hemipenis, fully evert- ed organ 6.00 mm long, 4.48 mm wide, stout, clavate, shallowly bilobed; densely covered with small or tiny calyces, seams of calyces denticulated. Two lobes subequal, both the lobes covered with calyces, calyces on distal part of lobes tinier; calyces proximally extend to the upper half part of truncus, bordered by slightly protruded fold. Each lobe with a distinctly protruded, comma-like apical folds, two folds not in contact with each other. On sulcal side, a distinct tongue-like welt present at crotch, curled inward. A thin, wrinkled, lateral welt present on the left side of sulcal lip, in contact with sulcal lip at distal one third of truncus. On asulcate side, lateral welt invisible, a small and boomerang-like area present on the center of each lobe, calyces on this area not well developed. Sulcus spermaticus forked, bordered by voluminous skin bulges, bifurcate at middle part of truncus, terminating on the upper side of each lobe in a slit-like concavity. sulcal lips moderately protruded, gradually become weaker and thinner towards the distal part of the organ. Comparisons. Gekko (Japonigekko) cib sp. nov. is compared with all 30 recognized species within the subgenus Japonigekko. Gekko (Japonigekko) cib sp. nov. used to be recorded as G. (J.) subpalmatus. However, the new species can be distinguished from the true G. (J.) subpalmatus in eastern China by the following morphological characters: mentals more elongate transversely, MW/ML ratio 1.60 ± 0.12 (versus 1.36 ± 0.18); larger eyes, ED/HL ratio 0.23 ± 0.03 (versus 0.19 ± 0.01). In addition, G. (J.) cib sp. nov. differs from G. (J.) subpalmatus in the following distinct hemipenial characters (Table 3; Fig. 3), including having sulcus spermaticus bifurcate at half of the truncus length (vs. bifurcate at crotch of hemipenis), lateral welt of the base of the sulcus spermaticus weakly developed, in contact with sulcus lip (versus well developed, not in contact with sulcus lip), and a smaller ornamented area (calyces confined to lobes and distal 1/2 of truncus versus calyces extended to lobes and distal 2/3 of truncus). Gekko (Japonigekko) cib sp. nov. is the sister taxon to G. (J.) melli from southern China, however, it differs in the appearance, dorsal body with regular patches (versus dorsal body with irregular enlarge patches), absence of an incomplete W-shaped marking on top of head (versus present), W-shaped marking on dorsal neck narrow (versus W-shaped marking on dorsal neck broad), and in the following data of scale counts: (1) fewer scales around the middle of the body, SR 128–149 (versus SR 147–160), (2) fewer precloacal pores in males, PP 7–9 (versus PP 9–11). Particularly, G. (J.) cib sp. nov. differs from G. (J.) melli in the following distinct hemipenial characters (Table 3; Fig. 3), including having lateral welt of the base of the sulcus spermaticus weakly developed, invisible from asulcate side (versus developed, visible from asulcate side); developed tongue-like welt (versus weakly developed); a smaller ornamented area (calyces confined to lobes and distal 1/2 of truncus versus calyces extended to lobes and distal 2/3 of truncus); and a protruded boundary between naked area and ornamented area on truncus (versus boundary smooth). ......continued on the next page Gekko (Japonigekko) cib sp. nov. can be easily distinguished from the following 19 congeners by lacking dorsal tubercles: G. (J.) adleri Nguyen, Wang, Yang, Lehmann, Le, Ziegler & Bonkowski, 2013, G. (J.) auriverrucosus Zhou & Liu, 1982, G. (J.) canhi Rösler, Nguyen, Van Doan, Ho, Nguyen & Ziegler, 2010, G. (J.) chinensis (Gray, 1842), G. (J.) hekouensis Pope, 1928, G. (J.) japonicus (Schlegel, 1836), G. (J.) kwangsiensis Yang, 2015, G. (J.) lauhachindai Panitvong, Sumontha, Konlek & Kunya, 2010, G. (J.) liboensis Zhou, Liu & Li, 1982, G. (J.) pal- matus Boulenger, 1907, G. (J.) scabridus Liu & Zhou, 1982, G. (J.) shibatai Toda, Sengoku, Hikida & Ota, 2008, G. (J.) similignum Smith, 1923, G. (J.) swinhonis Günther, 1864, G. (J.) taibaiensis Song, 1985, G. (J.) vertebralis Toda, Sengoku, Hikida & Ota, 2008, G. (J.) vietnamensis Sang, 2010, G. (J.) wenxianensis Zhou & Wang, 2008, and G. (J.) yakuensis Matsui & Okada, 1968. Furthermore, the new species can be distinguished from the following three Gekko (Japonigekko) congeners by having only a single postcloacal tubercle on both sides (versus PAT 2– 2 in G. (J.) sengchanthavongi Luu, Calame, Nguyen, Le & Ziegler, 2015, and G. (J.) thakhekensis Luu, Calame, Nguyen, Le, Bonkowski & Ziegler, 2014; PAT 2–3 in G. (J.) scientiadventura Rösler, Ziegler, Vu, Herrmann & Böhme, 2004). For the remaining six subgeneric congeners, by having 7–9 precloacal pores in males, Gekko (Japonigekko) cib sp. nov. can be distinguished from G. (J.) aaronbaueri Tri, Thai, Phimvohan, David & Teynié, 2015 (PP 3–4), G. (J.) bonkowskii Luu, Calame, Nguyen, Le & Ziegler, 2015 (PP 6), G. (J.) nadenensis Luu, Nguyen, Le, Bonkowski & Ziegler, 2017 (PP 6), G. (J.) tawaensis Okada, 1956 (PP 0), and G. (J.) truongi Phung & Ziegler, 2011 (PP 10–11); by having 1–2 intersupranasals, the new species can be distinguished from G. (J.) bonkowskii and G. (J.) nadenensis, both of which have no intersupranasals; and by having 5 dark bands between nape and sacrum on dorsum, G. (J.) cib sp. nov. further differs from G. (J.) guishanicus Lin & Yao, 2016 (dorsum with 6 dark bands). Distribution and ecology. Currently, Gekko (Japonigekko) cib sp. nov. is recognized from Chengdu City, Mt. Emei, and Hejiang County of Sichuan, and Jinsha County from Guizhou. These localities all situated in or around the Sichuan Basin, suggesting the previous records of G. (J.) subpalmatus from these regions (including Sichuan, Guizhou, and Chongqing) should be reassigned to this new species. All individuals were found on house walls or under eaves.Published as part of Lyu, Zhi-Tong, Lin, Chao-Yu, Ren, Jin-Long, Jiang, Ke, Zhang, Yin-Peng, Qi, Shuo & Wang, Jian, 2021, Review of the Gekko (Japonigekko) subpalmatus complex (Squamata, Sauria Gekkonidae), with description of a new species from China, pp. 236-258 in Zootaxa 4951 (2) on pages 250-256, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4951.2.2, http://zenodo.org/record/466397

Boulenophrys puningensis Wang & Zeng & Lyu & Qi & Liu & Chen & Lu & Xiao & Lin & Chen & Wang 2022, sp. nov.
No full textBoulenophrys puningensis sp. nov. Wang, Zeng, Lyu, Xiao & Wang Puning Horned Toad (in English) / Pǔ Níng Jiǎo Chán (DṪDzdz in Chinese) Figures 3–4 Holotype. SYS a005770, adult male, collected by Jian Wang on 24April 2017 from Longkeng Village (23°7'54.07"N, 115°51'5.28"E; ca. 120 m a.s.l.), Daping Town, Puning, Jieyang, Guangdong, China. Paratypes (N=5). Adult male, SYS a006755/ CIB118526, collected by Jian Wang, Can-Rong Lin and Hui-Wen Xiao on 14 February 2018; adult males SYS a007649, 7650 and adult females SYS a007647, 7648, collected by Jian Wang, Can-Rong Lin and Hui-Wen Xiao on 18 March 2019, all from the same stream as the holotype at elevations between 250–300 m. Etymology. The specific epithet “ puningensis ” refers to the type locality of the new species in Puning. Three of the authors of this work (Jian Wang, Hui-Wen Xiao and Can-Rong Lin) chose this nomen in honor of their hometown. Diagnosis. (1) Small body size, SVL 31.7–34.6 mm (33.0 ± 1.3, N = 4) in adult males and SVL 37.8–38.3 mm (N = 2) in adult females; (2) snout rounded in dorsal view; (3) tympanum large, TD/ED 0.68–0.71; (4) tympanic region smooth without granules or tubercles; (5) vomerine ridge and vomerine teeth present; (6) margin of tongue rounded, not notched distally; (7) hindlimbs short, heels not meeting and tibio-tarsal articulation reaching forward to the region between tympanum and eye; (8) a subarticular tubercle present at the base of each fingers; (9) toes without lateral fringes and with rudiment of webbing; (10) distinct enlarged tubercles on the surface of limbs, flanks, chest, belly and around the cloaca; (11) tips of the enlarged tubercles on posterior abdomen, ventral thighs and around the cloaca bearing tiny spines; (12) single subgular vocal sac in males; (13) nuptial pads with villiform black nuptial spines on the dorsal surface of the first and second fingers in breeding males. Comparisons. Comparative data of Boulenophrys puningensis sp. nov. and the other recognized members of Boulenophrys are listed in Table 3. With a smaller body size, SVL 31.7–34.6 mm in adult males and SVL 37.8–38.3 mm in adult females, Boulenophrys puningensis sp. nov. differs from the eight congeners whose SVL ≥ 50 mm in adult males or females, including B. caudoprocta (81.3 mm in a single male), B. jingdongensis (53.0– 56.5 mm in males and 63.5 mm in a single female), B. liboensis (60.5–67.7 mm in males and 60.8–70.6 in females), B. mirabilis (55.8–61.4 mm in males and 68.5–74.8 mm in females), B. omeimontis (56.0– 59.5 mm in males and 68.0– 72.5 mm in females), B. sangzhiensis (54.7 mm in a single male), B. shuichengensis (102.0– 118.3 mm in males and 99.8–115.6 mm in females), and B. spinata (54.0–55.0 mm in females). Boulenophrys puningensis sp. nov. shows the least genetic divergence from B. kuatunensis (mean p -distances 5.3 % in the 16S gene) and B. daiyunensis (mean p -distances 6.2 % in the 16S gene). However, the new species distinctively differs from these species by having relatively shorter shanks with the heels not meeting when the flexed hindlimbs are held at right angles to the body axis (vs. heels meeting or overlapping in B. daiyunensis); having rudiment of webbing and no lateral fringes on toes (vs. lateral fringes narrow in B. daiyunensis; webbing absent in B. kuatunensis); having raised and enlarged tubercles with spines on their tips on surface of posterior abdomen, ventral thighs and around the cloaca (vs. such tubercles not enlarged and without spines in B. daiyunensis; ventral surface smooth in B. kuatunensis). Boulenophrys puningensis sp. nov. is morphologically most similar to B. brachykolos, which is restricted to Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China (Liu et al. 2018). The new species differs from B. brachykolos by having vomerine teeth (vs. absent in B. brachykolos); lacking spines on the surface of the tympanic region (vs. having dense tiny spines on the surface of the tympanic region in B. brachykolos); and having different relative finger length formula (I = II <IV <III in Banophrys puningensis sp. nov. vs. II <IV <I <III in B. brachykolos). In having relatively shorter shanks with heels that do not meet when the flexed hind limbs are held at right angles to the body axis, Boulenophrys puningensis sp. nov. can be easily distinguished from the following 32 congeners, i.e. B. angka, B. anlongensis, B. baishanzuensis, B. baolongensis, B. binchuanensis, B. binlingensis, B. boettgeri, B. congjiangensis, B. cheni, B. chishuiensis, B. jiangi, B. jinggangensis, B. jiulianensis, B. leishanensis, B. lini, B. minor, B. mufumontana, B. nanlingensis, B. palpebralespinosa, B. qianbeiensis, B. sanmingensis, B. shimentaina, B. shunhuangensis, B. tongboensis, B. wuliangshanensis, B. wushanensis, B. xiangnanensis, B. xianjuensis, B. yaoshanensis, B. yangmingensis, B. yingdeensis and B. yunkaiensis, all of which have relatively longer shanks with the heels meeting or overlapping. By the presence of vomerine teeth, Boulenophrys puningensis sp. nov. differs from B. acuta, B. caobangensis, B. daoji, B. huangshanensis, B. lishuiensis, B. lushuiensis, B. obesa, B. ombrophila, B. tuberogranulatus, and B. wugongensis, all of which lack vomerine teeth. By having a rounded tongue margin that is not notched distally, Boulenophrys puningensis sp. nov. differs from B. hoanglienensis, and B. insularis, all of which have notched tongues. By the absence of lateral fringes on toes, Boulenophrys puningensis sp. nov. differs from B. rubrimera, which has narrow lateral fringes on toes. By the presence of rudimentary webbing on the toes, Boulenophrys puningensis sp. nov. differs from B. daweimontis, B. fansipanensis, and B. frigida, all of which lack webbing on the toes. Boulenophrys puningensis sp. nov. further differs from the remaining B. dongguanensis and B. nankunensis by having raised tubercles bearing spines on the surface of the posterior abdomen, ventral thighs, and around the cloaca (vs. absence of such tubercles and spines in B. dongguanensis and B. nankunensis). Description of holotype. Adult male. Body size small, SVL 34.6 mm.

Most of the paratypes are similar to the holotype in morphology and color pattern, except for the following: dorsal surface of body yellowish brown in the holotype (vs. dorsal surface of body light brown in the paratypes SYS a007647 (Fig. 4C) and SYS a007648 (Fig. 4E); ventral surface dark grey with orange patches (vs. ventral surface lacking bright patches in the paratypes SYS a007649 (Fig. 4B), SYS a007647 (Fig. 4D) and SYS a007648 (Fig. 4F); iris yellowish brown, with greyish white patches on its upper and lower margin in the holotype (vs. iris grey with beige and dark mottling in the paratype SYS a007649 (Fig. 4A); tubercles on posterior part of abdomen of the paratype SYS a007648 (Fig. 4F) are weakly developed. Females are distinctly larger than the males. Distribution and natural history. Currently, Boulenophrys puningensis sp. nov. is only known from its type locality, Longkeng Village of Puning. It inhabits flowing montane streams and the nearby forest floor and leaf litter at elevations between 120– 300 m. Advertisement calls of males were heard from February until April. Males were found calling in rock crevices in the flowing streams. Tadpoles could be found in this period.Published as part of Wang, Jian, Zeng, Zhao-Chi, Lyu, Zhi-Tong, Qi, Shuo, Liu, Zu-Yao, Chen, Hong-Hui, Lu, Yu-Hong, Xiao, Hui-Wen, Lin, Can-Rong, Chen, Kai & Wang, Ying-Yong, 2022, Description of three new Boulenophrys species from eastern Guangdong, China, emphasizing the urgency of ecological conservation in this region (Anura, Megophryidae), pp. 91-119 in Zootaxa 5099 (1) on pages 102-106, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5099.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/603696
